Enduring Myth: The Tragedy of Hippolytos and Phaidra
Daily through December 4, 2006
Museum, Floor 2, Getty Villa
Co-organized by the Getty Museum and the Getty Research Institute, this exhibition accompanies the inaugural performances of Euripides' Hippolytos in the Villa's Barbara and Lawrence Fleischman Theater. It assembles approximately 40 objects, dating from antiquity to the present, to illustrate the enduring allure of the myth of Phaidra's tragic love for Hippolytos. Enduring Myth includes a wide range of historical material, including an ancient vase, a medieval manuscript, rare books, early photographs, and modern film stills from collections around the world as well as the Getty's own holdings. The exhibition demonstrates how the ancient Greek play's themes of passion, mortality, and the frailties of human conviction were adapted and interpreted in different periods in art, stage, and film.
