A tragedy in verse by Thomas Noon Talfourd (1795 –1854).

The play tells of the voluntary sacrifice of Ion, king of Argos, in response to the Delphic oracle, which had declared that only with the extinction of the reigning family could the prevailing pestilence incurred by the deeds of that family be removed.

Privately printed in 1835 and produced the following year at Covent Garden theatre.
