Euripides (c. 480-406 B.C.E.) is the writer of eighteen extant plays and so many more only surviving in fragments. He is the youngest of the three great Athenian tragedians with Aeschylus and Sophocles. Hippolytus, bastard boy of Theseus and the Amazon Hippolyta, has sworn chaste allegiance to the goddess Artemis, thus significantly offending the goddess Aphrodite by failing woefully to revere her. Aphrodite swears revenge and claims that he'll die prior to the day is done, taking with him Queen Phaedra, better half of Theseus. Aphrodite sickens Phaedra with uncontrollable lust for Hippolytus, so when he vehemently spurns her, he sets in motion the events that will seal his doom. Cast
