Hippolytus (mythology) : ウィキペディア英語版
Hippolytus (son of Theseus)

In Greek mythology, Hippolytus ((ギリシア語:Ἱππόλυτος) meaning "unleasher of horses")〔More precisely, the meaning of Hippolytus' name is ironically ambiguous. The element -λυτος (from λύω "loosen, destroy") suggests the adjective (λυτός, -ή, -όν ) "which may be undone, destroyed." His name thereby takes on the prophetic meaning "destroyed by horses". (See )〕 was a son of Theseus and either Antiope or Hippolyte. He was identified with the Roman forest god Virbius.
The most common legend regarding Hippolytus states that he was killed after rejecting the advances of Phaedra, his stepmother, the second wife of Theseus. Spurned, Phaedra deceived Theseus saying that his son had raped her. Theseus, furious, used one of the three wishes given to him by Poseidon to curse Hippolytus. Poseidon sent a sea-monster—or, alternatively, Dionysus sent a wild bull—to terrorize Hippolytus's horses, who dragged their rider to his death.
Versions of this story appear in Euripides' play ''Hippolytus'', Seneca the Younger's play ''Phaedra'', and Jean Racine's ''Phèdre''.
==Phaedra's suicide==
Euripides's version has Phaedra's nurse tell Hippolytus of Phaedra's love. Hippolytus swore that he wouldn't reveal the nurse as a source of information – even after Phaedra killed herself and falsely accused him of raping her in a suicide note, which Theseus read.
Alternatively, it is stated that Phaedra simply killed herself out of guilt for Hippolytus’ death and that the goddess Artemis subsequently told Theseus the truth.
