theseus did get his premonition about life after crete after all, in form of these two girls from his group who died - philia and other one: you can escape crete, but you can't leave it behind, and you'll be left hanging between two worlds. he did it until he could - and then fell. it feels almost on physical level in the last parts, the way he cares less and less and less. and you know the way it would end, and still want in not to, and it all crashes down, damn it.
and poor hyppolytus, who doesn't deserve this fate at all. and this really creepy scene with oedipus. and also that one, when he, paralyzed, becomes aware of losing his earthquake premonitions, his only link to his God - ahhh, i wish I'd stopped reading at hyppolyte part, while everything were good. but still, so awesomely written.
