	Ion 1, Greek Mythology Link.
		Creusa 1's instructions to her prospective minister were clear: to drop the poison of Athena into Ion 1's cup (and not into the general bowl) in the banquet's pause, when Xuthus 1 and the other guests were pouring wine to the gods.
		This is how Creusa 1 proved that she was Ion 1's mother; and he, having been adopted by Xuthus 1, found a new home in Athens, not as the son of an alien (which he had feared), but as full member of the royal family.
		Creusa 1 was daughter of King Erechtheus of Athens and Praxithea 4, daughter of Phrasimus and Diogenia 1.

	Creusa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Greek mythology, four people had the name Creusa.
		According to Pindar's 9th Pythian Ode, Creusa was a naiad and daughter of Gaia who bore Hypseus, King of the Lapiths to the river god Peneus.
		Medea got even by giving Creusa a cursed dress that stuck to her body and burned her to death as soon as she put it on.

	Creusa
		Creusa was the eldest daughter of Priam and Hecuba.
		Although Creusa appears as a shade in the Aeneid, some say that she was not, in fact, dead, and had instead been detained alive by Aphrodite (Bell, 142).
		While Creusa plays a relatively minor role in the Aeneid, her son, Ascanius, was destined for greater things, and founded the Julian line when Aeneas reached Italy.

		Creusa is still ashamed of what happened to her, so she speaks to Ion as if she had come to consult the oracle for her ‘friend’.
		Creusa’s parrhesiastic role in the play is quite different from Ion’s; for as a woman, Creusa will not use parrhesia to speak the truth about Athenian political life to the king, but rather to publicly accuse Apollo for his misdeeds.
		Creusa appears at this moment in front of the temple steps accompanied by an old man who is a trusted servant of the family (and who remains silent during Creusa’s speech).

		She came into the power of Heracles as a captive of war, and was on his death (of which she was the innocent cause) married to his son Hyllus.
		Creusa afterwards married Xuthus, who had migrated from Thessaly, and was son of Hellen and brother of yEfilus and Doras.
		But Creusa, fancying he was her husband's son by a former union, resolved to poison him.

	CAMWS 2003: Luca Grillo
		This paper argues that the Creusa episode is fundamental to the economy of book 2 of the Aeneid; more specifically, through allusions to earlier ‘husband-wife’ scenes, it marks Creusa as an ideal wife, while condemning Aeneas as both nescius and uncaring.
		Creusa is represented as the quintessence of the Roman model of wife: she cares with affection (2.777) for her family (2.674), she is noble (2.787), loyal (2.785-7) and unselfish (2.788-9), and her words and deeds are full of obsequium and austeritas (Treggiari 1991; Dixon 1996).
		In conclusion the episode of Creusa marks the peak of the Iliupersis and helps us in characterizing both Creusa and Aeneas: Creusa is the model of Roman wife; but Aeneas is nescius and clearly lacks care and responsibility toward her.

		Creusa has a son, whom she abandons in a cave; when she goes back to find the child, he is gone.
		Creusa, outraged that Apollo let their own son die but preserved the life of a child begotten by Xuthus on some Delphian woman, tries to have Ion killed.
		After all, we can certainly believe that Creusa was raped by a human and that he child died in that cave and that the priestess who bore Ion was simply setting up a convenient fiction that would make her son the prince of Athens.

		CREUSA Silence is mine no more; instruct not me; For I behold the ark, wherein of old I laid thee, O my son, an infant babe; And in the caves of Cecrops, with the rocks Of Macrai roof'd, exposed thee: I will quit This altar, though I run on certain death.
		CREUSA Dreadful was then my fortune, dreadful here, Whirl'd by the eddying blast from misery there To misery here, and back again to joy: Her boisterous winds are changed; may she remain In this repose: enough of ills are past: After the storm soft breathes a favouring gale.
		CREUSA By her, who 'gainst the giants in her car Fought by the side of Jove, victorious Pallas, No one of mortal race is father to thee, But he who brought thee up, the royal Phoebus.

	The Hazing
		Creusa stepped between the two in an attempt to stop the catfight, only to catch a blow from Adrienne's mop.
		Creusa and Xao hit Adrienne over the head with a nearby bone and dragged her off to the diner, caveman style.
		Creusa elbowed the guy in the stomach and said, "Get lost, creep." She grabbed the two girls by the hair and dragged them out of the diner.

	The Baldwin Project: Romulus by Jacob Abbott
		He was, however, prevented from carrying this determination into effect, by Creusa's intervention, who fell down before him at the threshold of the door, almost frantic with excitement and terror, and holding her little son Ascanius with one arm, and clasping her husband's knees with the other, she begged him not to leave them.
		Creusa was to follow, keeping as close as possible to her husband lest she should lose him in the darkness of the night, or in the scenes of uproar and confusion through which they would have to pass on the way.
		His suspense, however, was terminated at last by his suddenly coming upon an apparition of the spirit of Creusa, which rose before him in a solitary part of the city, and arrested his progress.

		To a great extent, Creusa’s character is one-dimensional, and she appears as a mere prop in this superhuman drama.
		However, any blame we place on Aeneas for his treatment of Creusa is tempered by the grief he suffers when he learns of her disappearance.
		The grief he feels, which Creusa’s ghost characterizes as madness, is most evident just prior to his encountering her spirit, when he searches frantically from door to door.

		Xuthus and Creusa produce the sons Dorus and Achaeus; Ion, however, is the son of Creusa and Apollo.
		The story of Creusa's rape and the exposure and eventual rediscovery of Ion is invented by Euripides, but not quite out of whole cloth.
		The site of this rite is thus the very place where Creusa is raped by Apollo in Euripides' play and where she later exposes the infant Ion in a chest.

		(The duet in which Ion and Creusa joyfully accept that they are son and mother owes more than an little to "Pur tì miro".) The choruses have simple staggered layering of voices in some places, but like the rest, no fancy word setting or ornaments.

		Creusa was still locked in a struggle for her freedom from the Asklepeian witch.
		Creusa and her priestess stood staring at Xena, the litter bearing the dead woman stretched between them.

	My Calydonian Boar Hunt
		Creusa (of the Cecrops bloodline) was made the ancestor of the "Ion" Ionians of Athens.
		The husband of Creusa (in bringing forth these particular Ionians) was Xuthus, which may per chance be a variation of "Ceto/Getae." Hermes raised Ion to health under Apollo's supervision, suggesting that Ion was of both the Hermes and Apollo lines.
		Jason decides that he wants to re-marry with the princess of Corinth, sometimes named Creusa, and Medea is forced to flee the city, which she does do on a chariot belonging to Helios (her grandfather), pulled by winged dragons.

	Fernández: What about Creusa? Intratextual echoes between the Creusa and Nisus and Euryalus episodes in ...
		Although Creusa’s and Euryalus’ episodes are quite different in theme, both characters are lost in the course of the action.
		Before Nisus and Euryalus set out on their night raid, there is a reference to Creusa when Euryalus asks Ascanius to console his mother while he is away, and Ascanius replies that she (Euryalus’ mother) will be his mother only lacking the name of Creusa (9.297-98).
		Even the pius amor (5.295-96) that Nisus felt for Euryalus, which can be interpreted as homoerotic or paternal love (Pavlock 1985), recalls the amor that Creusa felt for her husband (2.638-49), which corresponded to Aeneas’; pietas, excluding her from his male circle (2.711; on pietas implications, Perkell 1981).
