Prometejskie zmagania
Prometheus’s Struggles

Summary/Abstract: On March, 11, 1937 the Polish Radio broadcasted the radio playbased on Aeschylus’s tragedy titled Prometheus bound. Stefan Srebrny, the professor atthe Stefan Batory University in Vilnius at the time, was responsible for this radio play.He was a well-known academic and translator. While preparing for the radio play heused the translation given by Jan Kasprowicz, one of the greatest Polish poet at the turnof the 20th century. The recording did not survive the World War II, but we still have thetranslation by Kasprowicz on which Srebrny made notes while preparing the radio playwhich gives us at least some insight both on the radio play itself and the work of an academicand translator who had to struggle with the legend of the one of the greatest poets.
