摘要：The family drama experienced by Theseus, Phaedra and Hyppolytus sheds some light on human incapacity to control what appears to be man¡¯s most intimate and absolute characteristic: emotions. In spite of Theseus¡¯s undeniable power, which is further backed up and made stronger through his contact with the gods (the journey to Pluto¡¯s kingdom, the fulfilment of his requests by the deities), the events he goes through at home bring him distress and perplexity. This awareness of power¡¯s inanity achieves one of its most poignant expressions at the beginning of Act IV in Verdi¡¯s opera Don Carlos.
