How does the story of Hippolytus Thesues' son and Phaedra bring the end of Theseus?
Lycomedes of the island of Skyros threw Theseus off a cliff after he had lost popularity in Athens. (due to what happened with Phaedra and Hippolytus)
Who was theseis to theseus?
Theseis is the story of Theseus
Why is Theseus important?
To the Classical Era Greeks, the story of Theseus showed the dominance of Athens over it's neighbors. You had the clever and powerful Theseus (Prince of Athens) helped by the ingenious Athenian engineer, Daedalus to defeat the powerful symbol of Minoan debauchery and devilry, the Minotaur. Crete was so wicked, that even the daughters of the king, Phaedra and Ariadne, chose to help Theseus rather than their own father. In short, Theseus is an excellent example of Bronze Age propaganda.
What did Ariadne give to Theseus?
A magic string that led Theseus out of the labyrinth. Answer 2: The ball of red yarn need not have been at all magic. Ariadne held one end, Theseus unrolled the yarn as he proceeded into the labyrinth, killed the Minotaur, rolled up the yarn and found himself back with Ariadne.
Who was Theseus?
Theseus was an Athenian hero, the son of the king Aegeus and Aethra. He is famous for defeating the Minotaur. In Crete, the princess Ariadne had given him a ball of string to get through the Labyrinth. Afterward, he had abandoned Ariadne on Naxos, where she eventually married Dionysus.

Who was the wife of minos?
I believe Minos had several daughters, but two of the more famous ones are Phaedra and Ariadne. Ariadne helped Theseus defeat the minotaur (her half brother) and also helped him escape from the labyrinth by giving him a magical ball of thread that traced his path to freedom. However, Theseus abandoned her while she was sleeping despite all she had done. Dionysus - god of wine and revelry - found Ariadne (while she was still sleeping) and made her his wife. What happened to Ariadne after this is debated (she may have been shot by Artemis, turned to stone by Perseus, or become immortal). Phaedra ended up marrying Theseus (despite his treatment of her sister) and had two children with him. However, she became bored with Theseus and tried to tempt Hippolytus (Theseus' son by Antiope) into having an affair with her. Hippolytus refused her, and Phaedra - bent on revenge - convinced Theseus he had raped her. Theseus, enraged, ordered Hippolytus' death. Phaedra, regretting her actions and beset by guilt and grief, killed herself.
What are Phaedra's main points in his speech in the story Hippolytus?
ThatPhaedra loves Hippolytus and so must starve herself to death and die with her honor (and not act on her love).
