Description
Euripides' Ion constitutes another demanding work in which H.D. processes and amplifies her task as poet and translator. This play signals a turning point in H.D.'s Euripidean studies since the text embeds a complex pattern of generic and mythic patterns which she infuses into the prose captions, that is, the preludes to the lyric and dramatic parts. In addition, it is her first work that receives critical attention following her first poetic period....

Along with her investigation of the Sapphic and lyric poems, H.D. is gradually creating her own archive, the unpublished Notes on Euripides, Pausanias and Greek Lyric Poets.
