Hippolytus

I personally feel very bad for Hippolytus by the end of the story. In the beginning, I saw Hippolytus as this terrible child whom cause more issues that he was worth. I though Phaedra was a great person and what happened to her and her guilt was undeserved. Now that I know what really happened I have completely changed my opinion of the story. When it turned out that Hippolytus was really telling the truth and Phaedra lied to protect her reputation, I couldn't help but feel that Phaedra got what she deserved and Hippolytus should have been treated better, and Theseus should have listened to his son.
