Theseus sung The tablet cries aloud, it cries things grievous. How shall I escape from the weight of my misfortunes? For I am utterly undone, such is the tune I in my wretchedness have heard sung by the tablet! Chorus Leader Alas! The word you utter is one that presages woe! Theseus sung No more shall I hold this ruinous bane, hard to send forth though it is, within the gates of my mouth! spoken in a loud voice, calling everyone in earshot to witness Ho! City of Athens! Hear me! Bystanders enter quickly by Eisodos B and gather around. Hippolytus has dared to put his hand by force to my marriage-bed, dishonoring the holy eye of Zeus. But, father Poseidon, with one of the three curses you once promised me kill my son, and may he not live out this day, if indeed you have granted me curses I may rely on.

imagine is in fact close to the trade Phaedra chose, though by her death she won not only Hippolytus' punishment but also the rescue of her own good name. But will you say that folly is not to be found in men but is native to women? I know that young men are no more stable than women when Aphrodite stirs their young hearts to confusion. But their standing as males steads them well. And so now—but why do I wage this contest against your speech when this corpse, witness most reliable, lies near? Go forth from this land with all speed as an exile, and come no more either to god-built Athens or to the borders of any land ruled by my spear. For if I am to be bested by you when you have done this to me, Isthmian Sinis shall no longer attest that I killed him but say it was an idle boast, and the Skironian rocks near the sea shall deny that I am a scourge to evil-doers. Chorus Leader I know not how I might say that any mortal enjoys good fortune. For all that is noblest is now overthrow

r at you, father. For if you were my son and I your father, I would not have banished but killed you, if you had dared to put your hand to my wife. Theseus How like you these words are! Not thus will you die, according to the rule you have just laid down for yourself—for a swift death is a mercy for a wretch—but going as a wanderer from your ancestral land over foreign soil you will drain to the dregs a life of misery. [For that is the penalty for an impious man.] Hippolytus Alas! What do you mean to do? Will you not even receive the witness of Time in my case but banish me from the land? Theseus Yes, beyond the Euxine Sea and the Pillars of Atlas, if I could, such is my hatred of you. Hippolytus Will you not examine my oath and sworn testimony or the words of seers? Will you banish me without a trial? Theseus There's no divinatory chanciness about this tablet, and its accusation against you deserves my trust. As for the birds that fly above my head, I bid them a long farew

t heard me proclaim for a long time that this man is no citizen here? Hippolytus Any of them who touches me shall regret it. Rather you yourself, if you have the heart to, thrust me forth from the land. Theseus I shall do so if you do not obey my words. For I am not moved by pity for your exile. Hippolytus The sentence is fixed, it seems. O how luckless I am, seeing that I know the truth but not how I may tell it! Dearest of gods to me, Artemis, Leto's child, you I have sat with, you I have hunted with, I shall leave glorious Athens as an exile. Now farewell, city and land of Erechtheus! O land of Trozen, how many blessings you possess to pass one's youth in! Farewell: this is my last look at you and my last greeting! Come, you my age-mates of this land, bid me farewell and send me forth from the land. For you will never see a man more chaste than I, even though my father thinks not so.Exit Hippolytus and the young members of the crowd by Eisodos A. Exit Theseus into the palace.

Chorus For my mind is no longer untroubled but beyond all expectation are the things I look upon. We have seen Greece's fairest star, have seen him go forth sped by his father's wrath to another land. O sands of our city's shore, o mountain thickets where with his swift hounds he slew the wild beasts in company with holy Dictynna!

rful burden, to join us at the shore, and a countless throng of friends and age-mates at his heels came with him. And when some time had passed, he ceased his lamenting and said, ‘Why am I distraught at this? I must obey my father's words. Servants, get the yoke-horses ready for my chariot, for this city is no longer mine.’ Thereupon every man worked in haste, and more quickly than one could describe it we set the horses in their gear right beside the master. He seized the reins from the chariot-rail and fitted his feet right into the footstalls. First he spread his hands palms up in prayer to the gods and said, ‘O Zeus, may I no longer live if I am guilty! But whether I am dead or look on the light may my father come to know that he dishonors me!’ So saying he took the whip into his hand and applied it to his horses all together. And we servants, on the ground beside the chariot, near the bridle, accompanied our master along the road that makes straight for Argos and Epidaurus

Enter by Eisodos A a messenger. Chorus Leader But look, I see a servant of Hippolytus, with gloomy face, rushing toward the house. Messenger Women, where must I go to find Theseus, this land's king? If you know, tell me. Is he in the palace?Enter Theseus from the palace. Chorus Leader Here he comes out of the house. Messenger I bring you news that deserves your concern and that of the citizens who dwell in Athens and in the land of Trozen. Theseus What is it? Has some fresh disaster seized the two neighboring cities? Messenger Hippolytus is dead, as good as dead; though he still sees the light of day, yet it will not take much to incline the balance the other way. Theseus Who killed him? Did someone have a quarrel with him whose wife he ravished as he did his father's? Messenger His own chariot destroyed him, and the curses of your mouth which you uttered against your son to your father, lord of the sea. Theseus stretching out his arms, palm upwards, in prayer Merciful g
