Giada Lorusso

“The Suppliants of Aeschylus were part of a trilogy consisting of Supplicants, Sons of Egypt and Danaids, followed by a satyr drama Amirnon. It was first performed at the Theater of Dionysus in Athens, probably in 463 BC."

The goddess of love, Aphrodite, opens the tragedy and the goddess of hunting, Artemis, concludes it, but at the center of Euripides' “Hippolytus, Bearer of the Crown” (428 BC) are not the gods, but rather Phaedra's absolute, consuming human passion for her stepson, Hippolytus. Phaedra hides her love and wastes away.

Grieving and thirsting for justice for the murder of her father, committed by her mother Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus, Electra, together with her brother Orestes, embarks on a path of suffering in which there is no room for remorse or repentance, culminating in irrevocable decisions.
