Hippolytos

Japanese: ヒッポリュトス（英語表記）Hippolytos

A character in Greek mythology. Son of King Theseus of Athens and the Amazon Hippolyta. He spent his days hunting and playing sports, but his father's second wife, Phaedra (daughter of King Minos of Crete), fell in love with him, but her love was not fulfilled and she committed suicide. However, contrary to the truth, she left a note saying that she was going to commit suicide because Hippolytus had been courting her, so Theseus banished his son and prayed to his father, the sea god Poseidon, to punish him. As Hippolytus was galloping along the coast in his chariot, a monster sent by the sea god suddenly appeared from the sea, frightened his horse, stood still, and fell off, and was run over and killed by the chariot.

ギリシア神話の人物。アテネ王テセウスとアマゾンのヒッポリュテの息子。彼は狩猟と競技に毎日をおくっていたが，父の後妻となったファイドラ (クレタ王ミノスの娘) が彼に恋をし，思いかなわず，彼女は自殺した。しかしその際，彼女は事実とは逆にヒッポリュトスに言い寄られ，困惑のあまり自殺するという書置きを残したので，テセウスは息子を追放して，父の海神ポセイドンに彼を罰することを祈った。そのためヒッポリュトスが海岸沿いに馬車を疾走させていると，海神の送った怪物が海中から突然現れて，驚いた馬は棒立ちとなり，ころげ落ちた彼は馬車にひかれて死んだという。
