A fabulous illustration by Eric Fraser for Sept 28th 1945’s Radio Times’ listing of a BBC adaptation of Euripides’ “Hippolytus”.

The art to be found in old RTs really is frequently amazing.

Intaglio print showing much messy early medieval script.

When famous people turned up in the audience I'd have bets with the guy who played Hippolytus as to whether he could die on them.... one night he crawled the whole way across the theatre to deliver his last line on Bianca from Eastenders shoes.

🚨AMAZING FIND ALERT🚨

It was reported yesterday that this fresco of Phaedra & Hippolytus was found in a small house at Pompeii. It shows Hippolytus spurning the advances of his step-mother, Phaedra. Phaedra’s nurse pleads with him. It’s astonishing that Pompeii keeps yielding treasures like this

Let's have another #AncientDEI for #AncientBluesky: Hippolytus! My sex-repulsed ace boi, son of an Amazon and a Greek, devotee of Artemis.
His fool of a father Theseus called down Poseidon's curse on him for the suicide of Theseus' far-too-young wife, Phaedra, who had fallen in love with Hippolytus.

#SarcophagusSaturday takes us to the #BathsofDiocletian in #Rome to admire a magnificent late-C2 CE #sarcophagus with the tale of #Phaedra and #Hippolytus, probably following the version of #Euripides which involves Phaedra's old nursemaid, who we see berating Hippolytus. Everyone looks pensive.
SARCOPHAGUS WITH PHAEDRA AND HIPPOLYTUS, C. 190 CE. BATHS OF DIOCLETIAN This splendid sarcophagus was found in 1931 along the via Prenestina, during the construction of via Muzio Attendolo in today's Pigneto district. It was found almost completely intact, with its rooflike lid with tragic masks at the corners still atop the box. It recounts the tragic story of Phaedra and Hippolytus, which is not a very frequent subject for tomb sculpture - I only know of one other, at S. Clemente. Here we have a wonderful composition full of symmetry. At left is the Minoan princess Phaedra, sister to Ariadne and also half-sister to the Minotaur. She's married to her sister's former beau Theseus, king of Athens, but in love with his sexy yet indifferent son Hippolytus. She declares her love, he recoils, she claims he's raped her, Theseus banishes him, she repents and confesses but it's too late, Hippolytus has driven his horse off a cliff, woe all around. Anyway Phaedra is sitting on a chair facing right, with her maids around her, at left, while at centre the nude (but for a cloak) Hippolytus is preparing to ride off, shown twice: the left-hand version is holding the notice of banishment and is unfinished, therefore representing the deceased, while a fully-finished and idealised version is leading his horse away. At right, the third group shows bearded Theseus sitting facing left, having just received the news of the death of Hippolytus. He looks perplexed rather than distraught, and is looking at a nursemaid holding one of his infant sons by Phaedra, Acamas or Demophon, as if wondering whether Hippolytus was the real father. What message this has about the afterlife is a mystery to me, unless the message is "Don't go around heroically nude and then expect your stepmother not to lust after you", which seems awfully specific.

#FrescoFriday - A detailed panel from Herculaneum showing the myth of Phaedra and Hippolytus. The Queen sits on a gilded chair, turning her gaze away from the young hero, and touching her delicate diaphanous drapery. #Myth #AncientBluesky 🏺

The scene is a beautiful composition of the coquettish contrasted with the tragic, the old with the young. Phaedra herself, seated on the extreme left of the scene, gazes out to the margin. In the centre, a nude virile Hippolytus is attended by the aged nurse, who reaches out her hand to clutch his arm. To the viewer's right, on the outer side of the frame an attendant holds a horse, perhaps foreshadowing Hippolytus' death while driving his chariot

18 Phaedra, uxor Thesei (wife of Theseus), is doomed by Venus to love her privignus (stepson) Hippolytus, because Hippolytus rejects amor (love) and colit (worships) only Diana.

Imagine being Hippolytus, and getting dragged to death by horses. Now imagine people honor you, by some accounts, as a patron saint of horses.
