Throughout the play, Prometheus is visited by gods and mortals alike, showcasing different aspects of his character with each new visitor. With the chorus, who is somewhat sympathetic to the plight of Prometheus, he speaks candidly and constantly explains that due to his gift of prophecy he has already foreseen everything they warn him about. With Ocean he is snarky but it is clear within his language that he sees the figure of Ocean, an older god, as an equal in terms of their power and knowledge. I thought it was interesting that the author of this play kept referring to Zeus and the other gods on Olympus as "new" and that Prometheus would often comment on the recent nature of Zeus' rule. It seems that seniority in terms of creation in the Universe means something to Prometheus and that a part of his rebellion against those he once sided with was not necessarily out of spite but because it was ordained by the fates.
I also thought Prometheus' interaction with Io was particularly odd because it brought out a kinder side of this god who had previously been snarky and angry. Despite her being a mortal he shares with her the next process of her journey and it drives her into madness, blinding her from the advice that Prometheus has offered only to her and not to fellow gods. The playwright's constant reminder to the reader or viewer that Io's descendant Heracles will one day free Prometheus (and that he is aware of this) adds an entirely new layer to his "kindness" towards humans. My main takeaway from this play was whether or not Prometheus genuinely believed that giving humankind fire was the right thing to do or if it was pre-ordained that he must do it by the fates and he is just playing out the narrative of the gods.
