"Hippolytus," a tragedy by Euripides, tells the story of the noble hunter Hippolytus, who is devoted to Artemis and shuns the romantic affections of others, particularly women. His stepmother, Phaedra, becomes infatuated with him, leading to a tumultuous and tragic chain of events. When Phaedra's passion is unreciprocated, she accuses Hippolytus of assaulting her before taking her own life. Enraged, her husband, King Theseus, banishes Hippolytus, who is then punished by the god Poseidon. Ultimately, the play explores themes of love, honor, and the destructive power of passion, resulting in tragedy for all involved. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
