NOTES
"Hippolytus" was first produced for the City Dionysia of Athens in 428 B.C.E. and won first prize. It is a religious and psychological retelling of the mythological rivalry between Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and Artemis, the goddess of chastity. The gods play an important role in the story of three main characters - Phaedra, Hippolytus, and Theseus - and help to unveil themes of carnal vs. spiritual love, and passion vs. restraint
