Quote #10

PROMETHEUS. When he announced this message to me, I tell you, I already knew it; and there is no disgrace in an enemy suffering ill-treatment from his enemy. (1014-1042)

So, this follows Hermes's meticulous description of all the suffering that Prometheus is going to undergo. Prometheus's response? He knows it—and he doesn't care. Enemies punish each other; that's just the way of the world. The suffering is for a good cause.
