Description

Hippolytus, the illegitimate son of King Theseus of Athens, has invoked the scorn of the goddess Aphrodite by vowing to live a life of chastity and refusing to revere her, while giving the goddess Artemis constant devotion. Aphrodite swears vengeance and plots to make Hippolytusโ€™ young stepmother, Phaedra, fall madly in love with him, setting off a series of events that will prove the undoing of them both. King Theseus finds himself caught in a whirlwind of madness and deceit, torn between his wife and son. He will find his mortal emotions helpless against the machinations of a goddess and responds in an impulsive and destructive manner that will bring tragedy upon his house. This translation is crafted in rhymed verse to create a close approximation of the rhythms and poetry of the original Greek text.
