Quote by Euripides, Ion

To have found you is a dear happiness; and to be Apollo's son is beyond all my hopes; but there is something I want to say to you alone. Come; this is a private matter between us two - anything you tell me shall be as secret as the grave.

To have found you is a dear happiness; and to be Apollo's so
