Hipolitus dari Athena
(Dialihkan dari Hippolitus (putra Theseus))
Dalam mitologi Yunani, Hipolitus (bahasa Yunani: Ἱππόλυτος, translit. Hippolytos)[1] adalah seorang putra dari Theseus dan Antiope atau Hippolit. Ia diidentifikasikan dengan dewa hutan Romawi Virbius.
Versi-versi dari cerita tersebut muncul dalam permainan panggung Euripides Hippolytus, Phaedra karya Seneca si Muda, Metamorphoses karya Ovid, dan Phèdre karya Jean Racine.

The element -λυτος (from λύω "loosen, destroy") suggests the adjective λυτός, -ή, -όν "which may be undone, destroyed." His name thereby takes on the prophetic meaning "destroyed by horses".
