Ion

Euripides

Euripides' Delphi tragedy makes Creusa the Erechtheid princess who bore Ion to Apollo in the cave, then married Xuthus — the mother who nearly kills her unrecognized son before recognition restores the Athenian line.

Creusa, Queen of Athens

William Whitehead

Whitehead's Drury Lane tragedy rewrites Euripides' Creusa for the Georgian stage — the Athenian queen still at the centre of the Ion recognition plot.

Creusa of Athens

Daughter of Erechtheus, mother of Ion by Apollo (and of Achaeus by Xuthus in some genealogies) — not Creusa of Troy, nor Glauce/Creusa of Corinth.
