The young Phaedra could not imagine that by the will of the gods she would be the wife of Theseus, king of Athens, instead of Ariadne's sister. Naive and inexperienced, at first she accepts her fate: to be invisible at the court of a much older husband and to endure rudeness from his stepson Hippolytus.But when Hippolytus attacks and takes her by force, Phaedra refuses to remain silent and summons him to court.
