PLOT
The goddess of love, Aphrodite, opens the tragedy and the goddess of the hunt, Artemis, closes it, but at the centre of Euripides’ ‘Hippolytus the wreath bearer’ (428 B.C.) we find not the gods, but the human, absolute, devouring passion of Phaedra for her stepson, Hippolytus. Phaedra keeps silent about her love and consumes herself, eventually revealing it only to her nurse, who speaks in vain to the furious and contemptuous Hippolytus. Phaedra hangs herself, leaving behind a writing in which she accuses her stepson of rape. Her husband, Theseus, then causes the death of Hippolytus, whose honor is restored just before his death by Artemis herself.
