Summary: "Phaidra: 5-näytöksinen runomittainen murhenäytelmä" by Jean Racine is a five-act tragic play likely written in the late 17th century. This drama explores themes of forbidden love, desire, and the consequences of human emotions through the lens of Greek mythology. The main characters include Phaidra, the wife of Theseus, who struggles with her forbidden love for her stepson, Hippolytos, amidst a backdrop of familial conflict and betrayal. The beginning of the play introduces key characters and sets the stage for the ensuing tragedy.
