What does the date range in the first sentence: "Ion is an ancient Greek play by Euripides (414-412 BC)." mean? The dates the play was written? The time it was performed? When its fictional timeline was set? -- Mikeblas 15:11, 12 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

It's the range of when it was thought to be written. Scholars aren't sure on the exact year. - Ravenous 15:21, 12 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks! I've clarified the article. -- Mikeblas 16:07, 12 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

WikiProject Theatre - class=Start, needs Analysis, and probably History headings. Importance=Low, as a single play is a "highly specific area of knowledge." --Dereksmootz (talk) 20:03, 8 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

The article gives no indication of what Euripedes may have intended when he wrote the play. Edith Hamilton, in her famous MYTHOLOGY, speculates that it is a veiled attack on traditional Greek religion, depicting the supposedly dazzling Apollo as a coward and a rapist.50.180.19.238 (talk) 03:38, 13 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
