ODE TO ION OF CHIOS

Contemporary of Aeschylus, & member of Cimon society,

Penned ‘Triagmos’ and many other works of notoriety,

Eventually earning myself, a dithyrambic & tragic prize.

Titles & fragments remain, of eleven of my plays,

Alongside comedies & poems, writ in my days,

As my elegies in ‘Greek Anthology’ honour man’s demise.
