Euripides: Ion

By attending to language, style, meter, dramatic technique, and context, this up-to-date edition makes an appealing and under appreciated play accessible to students, scholars, and readers of Greek at all levels. While recognizing the play's light touches, it takes its exploration of Apollo's Oracle, Ion's piety, and Creusa's suffering seriously.
