The play follows Hippolytus, a young man devoted to chastity and the worship of Artemis, whose rejection of sensual life provokes the wrath of Aphrodite. Through divine intervention, a chain of events is set in motion that leads to accusation, misunderstanding, and irreversible loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the drama lies Phaedra, whose struggle between duty and forbidden passion is rendered with notable intensity. Euripides examines not only the nature of desire, but the consequences of suppressing or denying fundamental aspects of human experience. The tragedy unfolds through a sequence of moral and emotional tensions, where intention and outcome diverge with fatal precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComposed in the classical period of Athenian drama, \u003cem\u003eHippolytus\u003c\/em\u003e remains one of Euripides' most studied works, notable for its psychological depth and its treatment of divine influence on human affairs. It continues to hold a central place in the study of Greek tragedy and the development of dramatic literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 03, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43426613100611,"sku":"9781515426547","price":34.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/store7994.com\/products\/hippolytus-a-tragedy-of-desire-honour-and-divine-retribution-hardcover","provider":"STORE 7994","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
