Ippolito on the operatic stage: Ziani ("L'incostanza trionfale, ovvero il Teseo", 1658, Venezia), Ortuso-Vannarelli, "Ippolito" (1661), Bissari, 1662.

Il "Ippolito" di Bissari (1662) includes the tragedy of his exile. Bissari fails to credit any source other than Plutarco -- 'the true type of poetic drama'.
