: 3Įuripides revisits the myth in Hippolytos Stephanophoros, its title referring to the garlands Hippolytus wears as a worshipper of Artemis. It is thought that the contents to the missing Hippolytos Kalyptomenos portrayed a shamelessly lustful Phaedra, who directly propositioned Hippolytus, which apparently offended the play's audience. The earlier play, and the one that has survived are both titled Hippolytus, but in order to distinguish the two they have traditionally been given the names, Hippolytus Kalyptomenos and Hippolytus Stephanophoros ( Ἱππόλυτος στεφανοφόρος – "Hippolytus the wreath bearer"). Įuripides first treated the myth in a previous play, Hippolytos Kalyptomenos ( Ἱππόλυτος καλυπτόμενος – Hippolytus Veiled), which is now lost what is known of it is based on echoes found in other ancient writings. The play was first produced for the City Dionysia of Athens in 428 BC and won first prize as part of a trilogy. Hippolytus ( Ancient Greek: Ἱππόλυτος, Hippolytos) is an Ancient Greek tragedy by Euripides, based on the myth of Hippolytus, son of Theseus.
