Acclaimed by Voltaire as "the masterpiece of the human mind," Racine's 17th-century drama is based on Euripides' tragedy Hippolytus.

The French playwright employs powerful language that brings new life to the ancient mythological tale of a queen whose incestuous passion for her stepson ignites an emotional firestorm of guilt, shame, and jealousy that consumes many lives.

Translation by Wallace Fowlie.
