This document provides context about Euripides' play Hippolytus. It summarizes that the play was based on the ancient Greek myth of Phaedra falling in love with her stepson Hippolytus. It discusses that Euripides wrote two versions of the story, with only one surviving. The lost first version likely featured a more bold and uninhibited portrayal of Phaedra, while the surviving version provides a more complex interpretation that generates debate about the characters. The document examines the earlier sources that treated the myth before Euripides and analyzes what is known about possible differences between the two versions based on surviving fragments and references.
