## Description
Theseus, King of Athens, has been officially declared dead. His death raises one major question: who will be his successor on Athens' throne, between the oldest son of his widow Phaedra and the son he had from a previous union with the Queen of the Amazons, Hippolytus? 

Phaedra, to discuss this matter, and to ensure her sons don't pay the consequences of the years she spent bullying Hippolytus, demands to see her step-son. But seeing him makes her face the truth she has been avoiding: Phaedra is madly in love with Hippolytus, and she can't keep these feelings inside.
