Aeschylus - links to Prometheus?

[harlock]

So recently we were told of the Engineer's society being based on the Persians. So, I decided to do some wiki research and cross-reference, when I come up with this fellow;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeschylus

Seems this fellow wrote plays, including The Persians, a play about how a King's pride leading to loss from hubris and angering the gods... 

Also he wrote Prometheus Bound, enough said about that story, I think 

So, could the survivor Engineer be close to Xerxes, a son of the Elder Darius, or could it be instead another person in the film? Either way, Xerxes played a rather Prometheus-like role in The Persians.

Theories welcome as always

You can spin it to any Greek myth at this rate, as they were all obsessed with tragedy and hubris. Not to be a spoil sport or anything, I just think we're grasping for threads.

Not that it's unhealthy, given the excitement we're all feeling

"Persian you say?"
