 Michel Foucault, Parrhesia in the Tragedies of Euripides
When Xuthus and Creusa came to consult the oracle, Xuthus enters the sanctuary first since he is the husband and the man. He asks Apollo his question, and the god tells him that the first person he meets when he comes out of the temple will be his son.
Xuthus tells Ion: "Take it easy; if I want to kiss you, it is because I am your father." But rather than rejoicing at the discovery of knowing who his father is, Ion's first question to Xuthus is: "Who, then, is my mother?".
Xuthus, also, is deceived by Apollo to the end, for he returns to Athens still believing Ion is his natural son.

 "Ignorant and confused characters, an audience kept guessing." Is this what makes Euripides' Ion work?
The audience would certainly not expect Euripides to suggest that the father of the founder of their race was Apollo, a god, and because of this would be kept guessing until the very end of the play (and perhaps even beyond).
The first thing Ion does on accepting the oracle is ask Xuthus who his mother is - it is she who is foremost in his mind and whom he longs to meet.
Certainly, this ambiguity was not beyond the oracle and Xuthus could have misunderstood what he heard, clearing Apollo of the accusation of false oracle, which he refuses to answer anyway.
