Converging Truths - Euripides' Ion and the Athenian Quest for Self-Definition

This book is a study of Euripides' "Ion," produced in 412 BC at a period of political crisis in Athens. Through careful analysis of its political, psychological, religious and poetic aspects and use of modern critical theory and recent scholarship on Athenian ethnicity, the Ion emerges as a polyphonic work expressing different and converging truths.
