Phaedra (1909)
Phaedra, the beautiful wife of the great warrior Theseus, is smitten with a passionate love for his son Hippolytus, who, however disdains her love. In revenge, Phaedra falsely accuses Hippolytus before Theseus of having attempted to make love to her, and he is driven from the kingdom by his father. Soon afterwards, he is killed through an accident to his chariot, and his body is brought home, whereupon Phaedra, overcome with remorse, confesses her sin and strangles herself at the feet of Theseus.
