The life will only have one time regarding the human, and experience is once in every life. We are unable with other people exchange or equate during this period. Presently, we are in the vigorous time of material development. The inhenrent desire of human being and the exploration of the unknown are being satisfited inordinately. In the time of something New, absorbed in literature and art and making an inquiry about the relationship between material and human being make us win another meaning of being.As a lover of the literuature of ancient Greece after studing literature and art for many years, I have my original understanding on some works of the chief tragic poet:Aeschylus in Classical Age. I ask myself this qestion when I am reading:why does a nation of majestic figure and soul have the spirit of tragdy on the contrary? After being born in the Myth and Legend of ancient Greece, the image of Prometheus acquired different illustrations in later articles by different writers. He became well-known as the martyrdom of Enlightenment until the master of tragdy, Aeschylus, fulfilled his great works Prometheus. Although all the things we can think about have been pondered over for many times, especially an article has been illustrated so much as Prometheus, this is a meanful thing in reading and illustrating it again.My thesis will try to anlyze the Prometheus of Aeschylus in the following three different chapters:The first, my thesis will mainly anlyze the Prometheus from text angle and special styles of writing about Aeschylus.I will anlyze this tragdy in the thoery of "katharsis" from Aristoteles.The second, my thesis will mainly anlyze this article by Aeschylus from the concept of fate and indicate the sipirit of Prometheus from the refutation between "technology" and "determinism"The third, my thesis will mainly stdudy the transition of Prometheus'images in articles by three different writers in ancient Greece and rethink the "technology" in a high-tech time.
