==Dating the play== A reference (lines 363-372) to the eruption of [[Mount Etna|Mount Aetna]] in 479 suggests that ''Prometheus Bound'' may date from later than this event. The play cannot date later than 430 BC, because ''[[Prometheus Unbound (Aeschylus)|Prometheus Unbound]]'' (part of the same trilogy as ''Prometheus Bound'') was parodied in [[Cratinus]]' ''Ploutoi'' (429 BC). ''Prometheus Bound'' was then parodied in Cratinus' ''Seriphioi'' (c. 423) and [[Aristophanes]]' ''[[Acharnians]]'' (425 BC).{{sfn|West|2015|p=65}}
