Phaedra
A daughter of Minos by Pasiphae or Crete, and the wife of Theseus. She
was the stepmother of Hippolytus, the son of Theseus, by Antiope or Hippolyte,
and having fallen in love with him he repulsed her, whereupon she calumniated
him before Theseus. After the death of Hippolytus, his innocence became
known to his father, and Phaedra made away with herself.[15B] |
