Aegeus wished for his son, Hippolytus, to die when he found out that Phaedra, Aegeus's wife, fell madly in love with Hippolytus. Aegeus assumed that Hippolytus loved her back, but really didn't. Aegeus got angry and sent him away. As he was sailing away, Aphrodite sent a monster from the sea and attacked him. Hippolytus was washed up on the shore, still breathing, and met Theseus there. Theseus then knew the truth, and was very upset and felt guilty. Theseus later died too.

The main reason given is that she killed herself, because she had fallen in love with Hippolytus, but he rejected her. She told Theseus (Hippolytus' father) that Hippolytus had raped her, and he gets cursed by Theseus, ultimately dying at his hand. Phaedra then kills herself in grief, not intending him to have been killed.
