His mother, Creusa, is married to Xuthus, a powerful Athenian who believes that Ion is his long-lost son. Xuthus and Creusa both want Ion to succeed them as ruler of Athens, but Ion is torn between his loyalty to his mortal parents and his newfound connection to the god Apollo.The Ion of Euripides is a complex and thought-provoking play that explores themes of identity, family, and power.
