The present work aims to analyze the contrast, as far as the characterization of Apollo is concerned, between the two mo­nodies with which the Ion of Euripides respectively opens and to some extent clo­ses, the former placed in the mouth of the young protagonist and the second delive­red by his august mother. The conclusion is that the intertextual play between these two peculiar examples of the hymnic genre contributes to smoothing their most exa­cerbated features, providing a conciliatory solution to the god’s role.
