	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 1999.09.16
		Hippolytus' scathing outburst (which R. suggests is indirectly aimed at Phaedra, who is visible to Hippolytus), combined with the uncertainty whether he will reveal Phaedra's secret, corners Phaedra: to maintain her virtuous facade before the Chorus, she must keep her false promise of suicide.
		The unfairness of Hippolytus' demise is underscored by Artemis' belated, callous revelation of his innocence, and her willingness to perpetuate an immortal spat at mortal expense.
		Euripides' Hippolytus was produced shortly after Pericles' death, as his citizenship law was under debate, and offers two readings: 1) for the law's detractors, it demonstrates the civic worth of a supposedly illegitimate individual; and, 2) for the law's supporters, it shows the deserved punishment of an over-reaching, pretentious bastard.

		Wilamowitz pointed out in the introduction to his 1891 translation of Hippolytus how much Euripides was apparently inspired by the cult ceremony, surviving at Troezen, in which maidens cut their hair before marriage and sang a cult song in honor of Hippolytus.
		Hippolytus fails to master his crazed horses, he crashes against a rock, the chariot is wrecked, he himself is caught in the reins and dragged, terribly broken, by the careening horses-until at last he is "loosed." When Artemis sees him, her first words state that he was "yoked to disaster" (1389).
		This is why we are so deeply moved by the Second Hippolytus, not the simple story of the idealistic youth (his name is legion) whom an older woman attempts to seduce and, that failing, slanders to her husband.

	Hippolytus by Euripides
		The play "Hippolytus" by the Greek playwright Euripides is one which explores classical Greek religion.
		Throughout the play, the influence of the gods on the actions of the characters is evident, especially when Aphrodite affects the actions of Phaedra.
		Artemis, however, is saddened by the loss of Hippolytus: "You and I are the chief sufferers Theseus." (1337) Because of this, she vows to avenge Hippolytus' death, and also tells him that he will not be forgotten by future generations of Greeks, that his name will live on in glory.

		The story of Hippolytus is set near the end of Theseus' life when he has already been abroad and married several times, slain all sorts of dangerous beasts, become the king of Athens and even visited the underworld.
		Hippolytus comes crashing out of the palace, with the Nurse hanging onto him, begging him not to say anything, not to break the oath to Artemis she made him swear before she shared her secret with him.
		At this moment in Hippolytus, much of Euripides' original audience probably expected something like this to happen in the next scene: Phaedra walks out of the house, having changed her mind about suicide because she'd contrived a way to save herself, which is to accuse Hippolytus of rape, as was customary in the tale.

		The play's “majestic sadness,” as Racine put it in his preface to the play, flows from the tragic necessity of separation for individuals who yearn for union with their beloved and who express their sorrow in some of the most haunting passages of Racine's entire oeuvre.
		In the play, the main characters—the young prince Bajazet, his beloved Atalide, and the jealous sultana Roxane—are the mortal victims of the despotic cruelty of the absent sultan Amurat, whose reign is maintained by violence and secrecy.
		Despite a competing play mounted by his enemies on the same general subject, Racine's Iphigénie en Aulide (1674) was a resounding success that confirmed him as the unrivaled master of French theatre.

		For as he came one day from the home of Pittheus to witness the solemn mystic rites and be initiated therein in Pandion's land, Phaedra, his father's noble wife, caught sight of him, and by my designs she found her heart was seized with wild desire.
		At his back follows a long train of retainers, in joyous cries of revelry uniting and hymns of praise to Artemis, his goddess; for little he recks that Death hath oped his gates for him, and that this is his last look upon the light.
		O father Poseidon, once didst thou promise to fulfil three prayers of mine; answer one of these and slay my son, let him not escape this single day, if the prayers thou gavest me were indeed with issue fraught.

		The play examines the roles of husband, wife, parent, child, and especially friend or guest-friend, against the backdrop of a myth that plays against the usual human helplessness in the face of death.
		The Hippolytus is the story of a young man devoted to virginity and the goddess Artemis, and of his stepmother Phaedra, who is filled with desire for Hippolytus by the goddess Aphrodite, who is angry at Hippolytus for his neglect of her.
		The play is also interesting for the mixture of attractive and repellant features that characterize Phaedra, Hippolytus, his father Theseus, and the nurse, and for its picture of the power and amorality of the gods.

		The Hippolytus is the more apparent source, as the plot of Desire follows the same triangular conflict and revolves around an incestuous crisis between mother and son—not a blood relationship, but one provoked, in both instances, by the father's remarriage.
		This dichotomy of meaning and appropriateness is important to the play as it establishes a tension of expectation and acts as the contradictory emotion so prevalent in tragic characters, especially in the Hippolytus, where Phaedra suffers the conflicts of honor and passion.
		In a play that combines a Greek concept of deity with a Christian God, fate is problematical—not because it is essential to Greek tragedy, but because it is a questionable "given" in the conceptualization of tragic form.

		A year earlier, she met and befriended Ezra Pound, who was to play a major role both in her private life and her emergence as a writer.
		In total, H.D. published three volumes of translations from the Greek: Choruses from the Iphigeneia in Aulis (1916), Choruses from the Iphigenia in Aulis and the Hippolytus of Euripides (1919) and Euripides'; Ion (1937), and an original play based on Greek models called Hippolytus Temporizes (1927).
		During this decade, she wrote a considerable amount of poetry, most notably Helen in Egypt (written 1952â€“54), a feminist deconstruction of male-centred epic poetry which uses Euripides's play Helen as a starting point for a reinterpretation of the basis of the Trojan War and, by extension, of war itself.
