	ION
		Of Chios, was one of the five Athenian tragic poets of the canon, and also a composer of other kinds of poetry ; and, moreover, a prose writer, both of history and philosophy.
		Besides his tragedies, we are told by the scholiast on Aristophanes, that Ion also wrote lyric poems, comedies, epigrams, paeans, hymns, scholia, and elegies.
		Respecting his comedies, a doubt has been raised, on account of the confusion between comedy and tragedy, which is so frequent in the writings of the grammarians ; but, in the case of so universal a writer as Ion, the probability seems to be in favour of the scholiast's statement.

		To be worthy of note, a person’s amousia had to imply a paradox, as is the case with Zethus, Amphion’s twin brother, and, above all, Themistocles, on one hand held by his contemporaries to be the “wisest of the Hellenes” (Herodotus), on the other notorious for his non-achievement in the field of music.
		Plutarch preserves a reference by Ion of Chios to Themistocles’ abstention from playing the lyre and resulting disgrace, an episode emblematic of the mores and — seen from the polarized viewpoint of, e.g., Aristotle’s Athenaion politeia — politics of 5th-c.-BC Athens (§1).
		Cicero redacted the story to exemplify e negativo music’s high status in Greece, and Augustine used it to legitimize disdain for classical learning (§2).
