The defeat of Fedra. Shepperson L.

Young Fedra could not even imagine that the will of the gods would be the wife of Teshee, King Athens, instead of the sister of Ariadne. Naive and inexperienced, at first she humbles herself with her fate: to be invisible at the court of a much older husband and tolerate rudeness from his stepson Hippolytus.

But when Hippolytus attacks and takes it by force, Fedra refuses to be silent and calls him to court. Fedra is a stranger with a tarnished reputation. Hippolytus is a sample of honor and virtues that swore allegiance to the goddess Artemis. Who will be a victim? And who will be punished? Now the fate of Fedra and Hippolytus is in the power of the great husbands of Athens, and only women understand how slippery the truth can be in selfish hands.

for those who like to read stories about strong women who challenged society to find justice.
