Description

Book Synopsis
In Euripides’ Hippolytus, a young man (Hippolytus) is falsely accused of rape after rejecting a married woman's (Phaedra's) advances. This excellent play is crucial to Euripidean studies, due to its influence, and also as it shows us Euripides’ ‘rewriting’ of his earlier play on the same topic. Greek text with translation and commentary.
