Phèdre was a 1677 play by Jean Racine, based on Hippolytus by Euripides. Due to its negative reception in the popular press, he abandoned writing for the public theater after this play (although later in his career he did write additional works on a royal commission). It is generally considered by to be his finest work; it was chosen for inclusion in the Harvard Classics.
