illegal stay and makes his status rise to the one of a hero.
In this play, Marco's actions lead us to the discovery of a

... of all gods, while he tends to shy away from worshipping Aphrodite (10-16). This is important because it sets in motion the actions of the play when Aphrodite decides to get revenge on Hippolytus. The divine relationship between the gods is a bit different, however.
