It seems then I do not hear aright.
Ion
What said Phoebus?
Xuthus
That the man who met me
Ion
When and where?
Xuthus
As I came forth from the gods temple
Ion
Well! what should happen to him?
Xuthus
Should be my own true son.
Ion
Thy own true son, or a gift from others?
Xuthus
A gift, but mine for all that.
Ion
Am I the first that thou didst meet?
Xuthus
I have met no other, my son.
Ion
Whence came this piece of luck?
Xuthus
To both of us alike it causes surprise.
Ion
Ah I but who was my mother?
Xuthus
I cannot tell.
Ion
Did not Phoebus tell thee that?
Xuthus
I was so pleased with this, I did not ask him that.
Ion
I must have sprung from mother earth.
Xuthus
The ground brings forth no children.
Ion
How can I be thine?
Xuthus
I know not; I refer it to the god.

Ion
Come, let us try another theme.
