   Phaedra's life was marked by her intense and forbidden love for Hippolytus, Theseus 's son. According to one version of the story, this unrequited love was a curse from Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, whom Hippolytus had spurned. In her devotion to Artemis, goddess of the hunt and chastity, Phaedra struggled between her moral obligations and her overwhelming passion.
