One of the corridors of this beautiful house tells the story of Phaedra and Hippolytus. Phaedra was the wife of Theseus, King of Athens. He had a son from his first marriage - Hippolytus. And, oh, the horror, Phaedra fell in love with Hippolytus. But the loyal son rejected his father's wife, and then the scorned woman defamed him to her husband. Theseus, angered at his innocent son - Hippolytus, caused his death by the will of Poseidon. After learning of the tragedy, Phaedra committed suicide. There it is.
