Noble Hipploytos, son of Theseus, spurns Aphrodite, goddess of love, pledging himself instead to Artemis, goddess of chastity and the hunt. Incensed, Aphrodite vows revenge and plots a series of events involving Hippolytos and his stepmother, the beautiful Phaedra. Passion, pride, and fateful misunderstanding push this tale of forbidden love toward a terrible and tragic denouement… This lyrical re-creation of Euripides’ moving tale of godly caprice and mortal sorrow captures the eerie lament of a bloodstained Greek sea, with illustrations inspired by the classic pottery of ancient Athens. This book is a part of a fourbook series of classic Greek mythology.
