“Prometheus Rebound: A Digital Edition of
Aeschylus’ Prometheus Bound”
Over the next academic year I will be enrolled in two one-semester Directed
Independent Studies focusing on textual variants in 19th century printed
editions of Aeschylus’ Prometheus Bound.
Beginning from a close reading of the play in Greek following Smyth’s 1926
edition, the research project will reconcile the Syntactic Dependency Treebank
by F. Mambrini to Smyth's edition, generating a new born-digital edition of the
play that captures the full semantics of the Greek. I will then use machine-OCR
analyses of 19th century editions of the play to create a well-organized,
machine-actionable catalogue of the textual editorial history of this play,
with a detailed commentary.
