Wife of Theseus in Greek mythology (7)

I believe the answer is:

phaedra

(Other definitions for phaedra that I've seen before include "Wife of Theseus who fell in love with his son" , "Wife of Theseus, subject of a play by Racine" , "tragedy" , "Tragic old Greek" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Mirror.
