Set in the realm of Greek mythology, this five-act tragedy unfolds the intense emotions of Phaedra, who, while her husband Thésée is away, confesses her forbidden love for Hippolyte, Thésée's son from a previous marriage. Written in elegant Alexandrine verse, Racine's work explores themes of passion, betrayal, and the complexities of familial relationships, solidifying his reputation as a master of tragic drama alongside contemporaries like Molière and Corneille.
