In The Hippolytus, Euripides tells the story of the tragic circumstances that lead to the death of Hippolytus, son of Theseus, and the downfall of Phaedra, his stepmother. This classic Greek tragedy explores themes of love, honor, and the destructive power of desire. This edition, translated by Frederick Apthorp Paley, is a beautifully rendered version of one of Euripides' most powerful plays.
