Who art thou and whence? who is the father that begat thee? by what name are we to call thee?
Creusa
Creusa is my name, the daughter of Erechtheus I; my native land is Athens.
Ion
A glorious city thine, lady, a noble line of ancestry! with what reverence I behold thee!
Creusa
Thus far, no further goes my luck, good sir.
Ion
Pray, is the current legend true
Creusa
What is thy question? I fain would learn.
Ion
Was thy fathers grandsire really sprung from Earth?
Creusa
Yes, Erichthonius was; but my high birth avails me not
Ion
Is it true Athena reared him from the ground?
Creusa
Aye, and into maidens hands, though not his mothers
