Phaedra (Seneca)

Phaedra or Hippolytus is a play by Seneca the Younger, telling the story of Phaedra and her taboo love for her stepson Hippolytus. Since the 17th century, it has been thought of as a Latin translation of Euripides' version of the same story, though Seneca's Phaedra is (unlike Euripides') sensual and shameless, deceiving her nurse in order to gain her as an accomplice.According to Pierre Grimal, it seems that this work is the result of the "contamination" of several sources, including Sophocles (a lost tragedy), Lycophron and Ovid.
