Phedre - Opening

Hippolytus, Theramene.

Hippolytus

I have made my decision.

It is six months now

And there hasn't been one word of my father.

Somebody somewhere knows what's happened to him.

Life here  in Troezzen is extremely pleasant

But I can't hang around doing nothing

With this uncertainty. My idleness makes me sweat.

I must find my father.
