Iphigenia In Tauris (Murray Translation)

Iphigenia in Tauris (Murray Translation)

by Euripides

In the ancient land of Tauris, Iphigenia, daughter of Agamemnon, presides over the barbaric ritual of human sacrifice as the priestess of the goddess Artemis. Unbeknownst to her, her long-lost brother Orestes and his friend Pylades arrive on the shores, seeking to avenge their father's murder. As fate intertwines their paths, Iphigenia grapples with her desire for vengeance and the revelation of her true identity. With stunning imagery and profound insights into human nature, Euripides' Iphigenia in Tauris explores themes of family, loyalty, and the complexities of divine justice.
