The response was, that Xuthus should regard the first person who met him on leaving the sanctuary as his son.

Unprepared for this sudden attack he admitted his guilt, but pointed to the wife of Xuthus as the instigator of the crime.

Not long after, upon the death of Xuthus, royalty was abolished, 1126.

Xuthus decides that Creusa must be deceived; he will say he has taken a fancy to Ion and wishes to adopt him.
