The Ion of Euripides is a Greek tragedy play written by the famous playwright Euripides. The play is set in Delphi, Greece, and revolves around the life of Ion, a young man who works as a temple servant at the shrine of Apollo. The story begins with Ion’s discovery that he is not actually the son of his adoptive parents but is instead the illegitimate child of Apollo and a mortal woman. As Ion grapples with this revelation, he is visited by his mother, who has come to the temple to seek guidance from the god. The two are initially estranged, but they eventually form a bond as they try to navigate the complexities of their relationship. Meanwhile, Creusa, the wife of Xuthus, a wealthy Athenian who has come to Delphi to consult the oracle, becomes jealous of Ion’s relationship with her husband and tries to have him killed. Throughout the play, Euripides explores themes of identity, family, and the power of the gods. The Ion of Euripides is known for its intricate plot and complex characters, and it has been widely studied and performed since its original production in the 5th century BCE.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
