Accordingly, after three years, Hyllus marched across the isthmus of Corinth to attack Atreus, the successor of Eurystheus, but was slain in single combat by Echemus, king of Tegea.

The speech of the messenger in the Antigone, the speeches of Hyllus and the Nurse in the Trachiniae, occur at the supreme crisis of the two dramas.
The narrative of the messenger is overheard by Eurydice, that of Hyllus is heard by Deianira, that of Nurse by the chorus of Maidens.
And in each case a poignancy of tragic significance is added by this circumstance, while the speech of the Messenger in the Antigone, and that of Hyllus in a yet higher degree, bind together in one the twofold interest of an action which might otherwise seem in dan.ger of distracting the spectators sympathies.

His performance was praised by the critics as "exquisite" (Financial Times) and "resplendent" (Il giornale della musica) and, in a stunning review for his portrayal of the role, Der Standard wrote that he "lives the role...and the audience hangs on every word".
He will reprise the role of Hyllas next season at the Paris Opera.
