Summary/Abstract: The paper entitled A Myth in Triple Hypostasis. Metamorphosis of the Tragic examines the myth of Phaedra, transfigured in classical Greek tragedy (Euripides), in the post- classical Latin (Seneca) and in the existentialist (Miguel de Unamuno) ones. The analysis reveals the transformation of the concept of tragic in relation to the development of critical consciousness, asserting the identity and responsibility towards the other by the protagonist.
