Sinopsis

"Ion" is a dialogue by Plato that explores the nature of artistic inspiration and the role of the artist in society. The main character, Ion, is a rhapsode who specializes in reciting epic poetry by Homer. Socrates engages Ion in a conversation, and the discussion unfolds as Socrates questions Ion about the source of his ability to recite poetry. Socrates argues that Ion's talent is not the result of his own knowledge or expertise, but rather a divine inspiration. He compares Ion to a magnetic ring that is capable of attracting and transmitting the power of the gods through his recitation. Socrates also points out that Ion's expertise is limited only to the works of Homer, and he has no real knowledge of the subjects he is reciting about. Read in English, unabridged.
