For in the gods as well one finds this trait: they enjoy receiving honor from mortals.
The truth of these words I shall shortly demonstrate. Hippolytus, Theseus' son by the Amazon woman and ward of holy Pittheus, alone among the citizens of this land of Trozen, says that I am the basest of divinities.

Messenger

Messenger

Theseus
What is it? Has some fresh disaster seized the two neighboring cities?
Messenger

Theseus
