Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Hippolytus is a tragedy by Euripides which won first prize at Athens' City Dionysia festival in 428 BC. The play retells the myth of the son of Theseus: Hippolytus, who has earned the enmity of the goddess Aphrodite for refusing to worship her.Rather than target Hippolytus directly, however, Aphrodite turns to another person she apparently has no quarrel with: the goddess causes a woman, Phaedra, to fall desperately in love with him. Unfortunately for Phaedra, he's just not that into her. Hippolytus is really not interested in anyone, and would much rather just go off hunting with his friends and in the presence of his favored goddess, Artemis.There's also the problem that Phaedra is his stepmother.Sources tell us that Euripides wrote two versions of Hippolytus: the first version, where Phaedra brazenly tries to seduce Hippolytus, was not received well by the audience. Instead we only have the second, where Phaedra is deeply ashamed of her feelings and the play opens with her determinedly resisting and hiding them. But no matter how determined Phaedra is, she can hardly keep her love secret for long... this is a tragedy, after all.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The play is available online here... if you'd prefer an English translation, you could look here or here. | |

Adaptational Heroism: The first version has Phaedra much more brazenly trying to seduce Hippolytus. The second version play up her tragedy. | |

Being Good Sucks | |
| Hippolytus (Theatre) / int_72b0dfd2 | comment |
Being Good Sucks: Hippolytus refuses to sleep with his stepmother, at least in part, out of an appeal to basic human decency and respect for his father (the other part being because he doesn't like women so much). When his stepmother then falsely accuses him of raping her, he's helpless to defend himself before his father because of an oath he swore. See also Keeping Secrets Sucks below. | |
