Obras dramáticas de Eurípides (3 de 3) by Euripides
"Obras dramáticas de Eurípides (3 de 3)" by Euripides is a collection of classical Greek plays, likely written during the late 5th century BC. This volume, presented in a modern Spanish translation, focuses on the tragic and dramatic stories surrounding gods and mortals, notably exploring intense human emotions and the intervention of deities in mortal affairs. The excerpt begins with the play "Ion," whose main characters include Ion, Creúsa, Juto (her husband),
and the gods Apollo and Hermes. The central theme revolves around hidden parentage, divine intervention, and the complex relationships between fate and human action. The opening of the book sets the stage for "Ion" with a detailed summary of the myth and dramatic context: Apollo has fathered a child with Creúsa, who abandons the baby to conceal her shame, and the child is raised in Apollo's temple unknown to his parents. The narrative then unfolds in dialogues and choral interludes, introducing the dilemma of Creúsa and Juto's childlessness, their consultation of Apollo's oracle, and Ion’s role as a temple servant with mysterious origins. The scene captures emotional intensity as Creúsa laments her fate, Ion reflects on his unknown parentage, and both grapple with the consequences of Apollo's actions. The intrigue escalates with schemes of jealousy, attempted poisoning, and the intervention of divine and mortal characters, expertly building suspense and exploring themes of recognition, justice, and the search for identity.
