	Phaedra: Study Guide
		Phaedra offers Hippolytus her sympathy for the loss of his father and says she worries about the fate of her son, for Hippolytus has every right to oppose him now in the contest for the throne.
		Phaedra explains that she feels shame and guilt for loving him so, but says that a “poison” infects her and that she detests herself more than he does.
		An example of parallel situations is Phaedra's inability to cultivate Hippolytus (because society and morality forbid love between a mother and her stepson) and Hippolytus's inability to court Aricia (because Theseus forbade Aricia to marry).

		Ode To Phaedra is an original "music drama" that tells the story of a young woman (Phaedra) who, while enjoying an arranged marriage to an older man (King Theseus), plots to seduce her step-son (Hippolytus).
		As ancient myth, the tale of Phaedra's uncontrollable obsession served as a "lesson" to mortal men and women of the omnipotent powers of Aphrodite, the manipulative Goddess of Love.
		Phaedra's story has been retold in several forms--first acted out in public squares by poets, then more fully dramatized by Euripides in his play, Hippolytus, which told the tale from the stepson's perspective.

		Racine's Phaedra, a re-telling of Euripides's Hippolytus, presents another aspect of neoclassicism: a grim, unlaughing moral tale of tragedy resulting from uncontrolled passion.
		(lines 118-126) In view of the terrible untrue accusations against Hippolytus and his subsequent violent death, all attributable to Phaedra, it is easy to think of her as cold-blooded and without conscience.
		At the end of Act II, the rumor that Theseus is not dead after all creates a genuine feeling of horror in the audience, for they know that Phaedra has gone too far in proclaiming her love for Hippolytus.

		Greek mythology has become multifariously instructive to all those who’ve succeeded it, serving not just to illuminate the literary tradition of its people, but also to serve as recorded documentation of their history.
