The Hippolytus is generally acknowledged to be one of Euripides'
finest tragedies, for the construction of its plot, its use of
language and its memorable characterisations of Phaedra and
Hippolytus. Furthermore, it asks serious and disturbing questions
about the influence of divinity on human lives. Sophie Mills
considers these and many other themes in detail, setting the play
in its mythological, cultural and historical contexts. She also
includes discussions of major trends in interpretations of the play
and of subsequent adaptations of the Hippolytus story, from Seneca
to Mary Renault and beyond.
