Sobre este libro

In the Greek city of Troezen, Phaedra, the wife of the hero Theseus, is consumed by a guilty, hopeless passion for her stepson Hippolytus, who loves the princess Aricia. When false news comes that Theseus is dead, Phaedra confesses her love to Hippolytus, who recoils in horror. Then Theseus returns alive, and Phaedra's nurse, to protect her mistress, accuses Hippolytus of attempting to seduce his stepmother, and Theseus calls down the curse of Neptune on his son.
