The sexual behaviour is, of course, an issue that has not been ignored and, although moral sexuality focuses on woman’s attitude, men play an important role as well: the myth of Hippolytus and Phaedra is one of the most notable exempla of masculine chastity. In this paper, we analyse the representations about Phaedra’s and Hippolytus’ sexual behaviour in Euripides’ Hippolytus and Ovid’s Heroides 4. To do this, we confront the conceptions about sexual morality in Greek and Latin cultures, and the corresponding lexemes related to this topic in both languages (pudicitia and pudor in Latin, αἰδώς, ἁγνός and σωφροσύνη in Greek). Subsequently, we consider the enunciation and action spaces of the characters, and the problematization of the possible consequences of making public private actions. Las complejidades de la moral humana han sido problematizadas y desarrolladas en la literatura de todos los tiempos. La conducta sexual es, por supuesto, una cuestión que no ha sido ignorada y si bien la moral sexual se centra en la actitud de las mujeres, los hombres también juegan un papel importante: el mito de Hipólito y Fedra es uno de los exempla más notables sobre el pudor y la castidad masculina. En este trabajo analizamos las representaciones sobre la conducta sexual de Fedra e Hipólito en la tragedia Hipólito de Eurípides y en la Heroida 4 de Ovidio. Para ello, confrontamos las concepciones sobre la moral sexual en las culturas griega y latina y los lexemas correspondientes a dicho tópico en ambas lenguas (pudicitia y pudor en latín, αἰδώς, ἁγνός y σωφροσύνη en griego). Posteriormente, consideramos los espacios de enunciación y acción de los personajes y la problematización sobre las posibles consecuencias de hacer públicas las acciones privadas.

The complexities of human morality have been problematized and developed in the literature of all time. The sexual behaviour is, of course, an issue that has not been ignored and, although moral sexuality focuses on woman’s attitude, men play an important role as well: the myth of Hippolytus and Phaedra is one of the most notable exempla of masculine chastity. In this paper, we analyse the representations about Phaedra’s and Hippolytus’ sexual behaviour in Euripides’ Hippolytus and Ovid’s Heroides 4. To do this, we confront the conceptions about sexual morality in Greek and Latin cultures, and the corresponding lexemes related to this topic in both languages (pudicitia and pudor in Latin, αἰδώς, ἁγνός and σωφροσύνη in Greek). Subsequently, we consider the enunciation and action spaces of the characters, and the problematization of the possible consequences of making public private actions. |
