| Summary | "Orione" by Ercole Luigi Morselli is a tragic play written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the central character, Orione, as various characters interact in a setting steeped in myth and drama, reflecting themes of love, identity, and destiny against the backdrop of ancient Greek lore. The opening of the play introduces us to Ireo, the father of Orione, and Trochilo, his servant, as they discuss the sorrow Ireo feels for his absent son. They reminisce about Orione’s childhood, revealing a mixture of parental love and foreboding, as Ireo fears for Orione's reckless pursuits of glory and adventure. Mirrina, a character with aspirations of her own, enters, discussing omens and dreams that may influence her fate. Matusio, a noted soothsayer, is also introduced, hinting at future prophecies tied to Orione’s adventures. As the characters interact, the tension builds around Orione's long-awaited return and the implications of his heroic deeds and relationships, setting the stage for an epic exploration of personal and mythological paths interweaving through the narrative.
