Madness Monologue from Ion

From Ion by Euripides

any · defiant · 50 sec

Certes, from well-born sire and mother too Had I my birth, whose blood is Night's and Heaven's; But here's my glory,--not to grudge the good! Nor love I raids against the friends of man. I wish, then, to persuade, before I see You stumbling, you and Heré: trust my words! This man, the house of whom ye hound me to, Is not unfamed on earth, nor gods among; Since, having quelled waste land and savage sea, He alone raised again the falling rights Of gods--gone ruinous through impious men. Desire no mighty mischief, I advise!
