Who is in unrequited love with the daughter of Egeus?
Egeus Egeus is a character in "A Midsummer Night's Dream", the comedy by William Shakespeare. He is an Athenian who tries to keep his daughter, Hermia, from marrying Lysander the man she loves. In original performances, the actor for his role probably played the part of Philostrate as well.
Eurydice of Thebes In Greek mythology, Eurydice (Greek: Εὐρυδίκη ), sometimes called Henioche, was the wife of Creon, a king of Thebes. She appears briefly in Sophocles' "Antigone" (as an "archetypal grieving, saddened mother" and an older counterpart to Antigone), to kill herself after learning, from a messenger, that her son Haemon and his betrothed, Antigone, have both committed suicide. She thrusts a sword into her heart and curses Creon for the death of her two sons: Haemon and Megareus. Haemon killed himself because his father Creon had unjustly killed Antigone, to whom he was engaged.
