Better hold to this, my son.
Ion
Didst thou eer indulge in illicit amours?
Xuthus
Yes, in the folly of youth.
Ion
Ere thou didst win Erechtheus daughter?
Xuthus
Never since.
Ion
Could it be, then, thou didst beget me?
Xuthus
The time coincides therewith.
Ion
In that case, how came I hither?
Xuthus
That puzzles me.
Ion
After that long journey too?
Xuthus
That, too, perplexes me.
Ion
Didst thou in days gone by come to the Pythian rock?
Xuthus
Yes, to join in the mystic rites of Bacchus.
Ion
Didst thou lodge with one of the public hosts?
Xuthus
With one who at Delphi
Ion
Initiated thee? or what is it thou sayest?
Xuthus
Among the frantic votaries of Bacchus.
Ion
Wert thou sober, or in thy cups?
Xuthus
I had indulged in the pleasures of the wine-cup.
Ion
That is just the history of my birth.
Xuthus
Fate hath discovered thee, my son.
Ion
How came I to the temple?
