Quartigod son of Theseus by the Amazon Antiope (or Hippolyta in variant recensions). The protagonist of Euripides' Hippolytus (428 BCE), one of the most influential tragedies in the Greek canon. Killed by Poseidon's bull-from-the-sea after his stepmother Phaedra's engineered false accusation; resurrected by Asclepius (the act that triggered Zeus's killing of Asclepius with the thunderbolt). The Italian Aricine-cult tradition (Vergil Aen. 7.761-782) preserved the post-resurrection name Virbius, attesting the cross-Mediterranean continuity of his cult. The Troezen sanctuary of Hippolytus had the canonical pre-marriage maiden-hair-offering rite (Pausanias 2.32.1) — among the longest-surviving Greek hero-cults.
