THESEUS and HIPPOLYTUS - The Tragedy of a Father-Son Conflict - Ep. 5

Now aging, Theseus tries to revive the past by marrying the young Phaedra, but the union brings tragedy to Athens. Driven by Aphrodite's revenge, Phaedra falls obsessively in love with Hippolytus, the king's son, who rejects her out of devotion to chastity and honor. Humiliated, she takes her own life, leaving a fake letter accusing the prince. Blinded by grief, Theseus curses his son, who dies in an accident caused by Poseidon. The truth comes too late, and the hero is left destroyed by remorse, defeated by his own mistake.
