Ion does a very good job in questioning back and getting views of Socrates and staying honest most of time. There is a fair amount of philosophy, including Socrates's ideas about art underlining some of characteristics of art.

i disagree! poetry is innately human and very much an art! we are our own inspirations! every decision we make leads up to every word we write! we are weaved into our poems like fibres in thread!

This was just really really confusing. I am confused. Sokrates is an asshole, Ion is an idiot, and I never want to read this again.

Short and sweet. Plato's writings are generally pretty easy to understand because of the way he writes them--as dialogues. Most of his theories have been argued against for centuries, but it's still an interesting read.

donc Socrate en plus d'être le Mec Chiant par excellence ne comprend strictement rien à la poésie

I read this in preparation for the Literary Life podcast. Enjoyed the dialogue between Socrates and Ion — and the reciting of Homer’s poetry. Entertaining!

მეჰ, დრო მოჭამა.
არავის გაუკვირდება ეს ყველაფერი დღეს.
ძირითადად, სოკრატეს თეორიას ეხება ღვთაებრივი პოეზიის შესახებ.
დიალოგი უკეთესად გაგრძელდებოდა, იონი ასეთი სულელი რომ არ ყოფილიყო.
