And Phaedra, after she had
borne two children, Acamas and Demophon, to Theseus, fell in love with the son he had by
the Amazon, to wit, Hippolytus, and besought him
to lie with her. Howbeit, he fled from her embraces, because he hated all women. But
Phaedra, fearing that he might accuse her to his father, cleft open the doors of her
bed-chamber, rent her garments, and falsely charged Hippolytus with an assault.
