Hippolytus

About the show

Aphrodite punishes Hippolytus for honoring Artemis and rejecting her by causing his stepmother Phaedra to desire him. When Phaedra's nurse reveals her feelings, Hippolytus reacts with outrage; Phaedra kills herself and leaves a false accusation. Theseus curses Hippolytus, who is fatally injured in a chariot crash. Artemis reveals the truth, and father and son reconcile before Hippolytus dies.
