Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iphigenia_in_Tauris This eBook was produced by Robert Rowe, Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Iphigenia in Tauris" by Euripides is a classic Greek play, likely written in the 5th century BC. This work explores themes of fate, identity, and the consequences of past actions, centering around the character Iphigenia, the daughter of Agamemnon. She finds herself serving as a priestess in a foreign land, grappling with her traumatic past and longing for her homeland while facing the moral complexities of sacrifice and revenge. At the start of the play, Iphigenia reflects on her initial fate of being sacrificed by her father, Agamemnon, at Aulis, before being rescued by the goddess Artemis and transported to Tauris. Here, she serves as a priestess, awaiting the arrival of Greek strangers for ritual sacrifice. The narrative unfolds when two absent figures, Orestes and his companion Pylades, arrive on the coast, unknowingly setting the stage for a dramatic reunion and revelation. Their identity as spirit-driven escapees from the Furies adds layers of tension as they seek the goddess’s sacred image, hoping to free themselves from their pasts and ultimately return both the image and Iphigenia to Greece.
