Prometheus in chains[[136]]

Strength. Lo! to a plain, earth's boundary remote,

We now are come,—the tract as Skythian known,

A desert inaccessible: and now,

Hephæstos, it is thine to do the hests

The Father gave thee, to these lofty crags

To bind this crafty trickster fast in chains

Of adamantine bonds that none can break;

For he thy choice flower stealing, the bright glory

Of fire that all arts spring from, hath bestowed it
