Phaedra&Pasiphae- Phaedra was the daughter of Minos and the wife of Theseus, but she soon fell in love with Hippolyta. Pasiphae was daughter of Helios and Perse, and wife of King Minos. She was the mother of Glaucus, Andogeus, Phaedra, and Ariadne. When Minos insulted Poseidon, the god started a passionate love in Pasiphae for a bull. She had Daedalus design a construction so that she could mate with the bull, therfore she became the mother of the Minotaur.
Summary: Catullus talks about how Phaedra embraces Pasiphae one last time because of her love with Theseus. And then he talks about how Theseus left her at the shores breaking her heart.
