Project Gutenberg 2008-12-02 Public domain in the USA. 70 Euripides -406 Ευριπίδης Eurípides Demetrakopoulos, Polyvios 1864 1922 Δημητρακόπουλος, Πολύβιος Dimitrakopoulos, Polybius Αρκάς, Πολ Arcas, Pol Arcas, Paul Dimitrakopoulos, Polyvios Ίων Ion Produced by Sophia Canoni "Iων" by Euripides is a classical Greek drama written in the 5th century BC. The play centers around the themes of identity, divine will, and familial conflict, primarily focusing on the character of Ion, the son of Apollo and Creusa, who is entangled in a web of secrets concerning his parentage and destiny. At the start of the play, Hermes introduces the backdrop of the story, revealing the past events that led to Ion's abandonment as a child by his mother, Creusa, who feared the consequences of her union with Apollo. Years later, Creusa, now married to Xouthus and childless, visits the Oracle at Delphi with her husband to seek guidance about having children. As the opening unfolds, Ion emerges as a servant in the temple of Apollo, unaware of his true lineage, while Creusa grapples with her hidden anguish. The intricate narrative setup hints at the exploration of themes surrounding motherhood, the duplicity of divine interventions, and the characters’ quests for truth.
