Question
This character laments that men can’t buy babies at temples in a misogynistic rant he delivers after bursting through a palace door. In The Clouds, Aristophanes riffed on this character’s claim that “my tongue swore but my heart remained unpledged,” a line whose sophistic immorality scandalized Athenians. In the opening scene, this hunter explains that he worships “Cypris” from “a long way off” when asked why he doesn’t lay a wreath on her altar. In that play, a nurse pleads with this (*) title man on behalf of a woman who is trying to starve herself to death out of love for him. This character angers Aphrodite with his chaste devotion to Artemis, setting off a chain of events that ends with a monstrous bull rising from the sea to capsize his chariot. For 10 points, name this title character of a Euripides play, a son of Theseus who is falsely accused of rape by his stepmother Phaedra. ■END■
