Summary

"Ίων" by Euripides is an ancient Greek play written between 414 and 412 BC. It follows Ion, a young temple servant at Delphi, as he unknowingly discovers his true origins. His mother Creusa harbors a devastating secret: years ago, Apollo assaulted her, and she abandoned their infant son. When Creusa and her husband arrive seeking the oracle's guidance about having children, a fateful reunion unfolds that challenges the very right of gods to control mortal destinies.
