Hippolyte et Aricie
Hippolyte and Aricie love each other, but Aricie is held captive by Theseus and forbidden to marry. When Theseus journeys to the Underworld, Phaedra reveals her desire for her stepson Hippolyte, who rejects her. On his unexpected return, Theseus believes Phaedra’s false accusation and asks Neptune to punish Hippolyte. A sea monster appears to kill him, and Phaedra dies by suicide. Diana later reveals Hippolyte alive and reunites him with Aricie, while Theseus is left unable to see his son again.
