Iphigenia in Tauris (Murray Translation)
by Euripides
'Iphigenia in Tauris (Murray Translation)' Summary
Having escaped the altar at Aulis with the aid of the goddess Artemis, Iphigenia is now a priestess in a distant land. Years of exile and longing for home have hardened her heart, and she relishes her role as the executioner of strangers on these remote shores. But when her own brother, Orestes, is captured and brought before her altar, her world is turned upside down. Torn between her duty to the gods and her love for her brother, Iphigenia must make a heart-wrenching decision. Through a series of ingenious twists and turns, Euripides explores the complexities of human emotion and the power of redemption in this poignant and enduring masterpiece.Book Details
