Document Summary
Identify the speaker: a mortal has no business being in such a close relationship with an immortal! Aphrodite: all day, you talked about coming out here but i know, in no time at all, you"ll be sick of all this and you"ll want to go back inside again. Nothing can give you any pleasure, my lady. Nurse: i want to go to the mountains! Take me to where the hunting dogs chase the spotted deer! Phaedra: second thoughts are can often be much wiser with us mortals. Nurse: it"s pointless for the greeks to slaughter even more bulls on the shrines of the pythian apollo, and by the banks of the alpheus river, if we neglect to honour eros! Chorus: that oath was sworn by my tongue, not by my heart! Hippolytus: my death though will hurt someone else. A man who shall learn not to rejoice over my ill fate.
