The Iphigenia in Tauris is a Greek tragedy written by Euripides in the 5th century BCE. The play tells the story of Iphigenia, the daughter of King Agamemnon, who was sacrificed to the gods during the Trojan War. However, in this play, it is revealed that Iphigenia was saved by the goddess Artemis and brought to Tauris, where she serves as a priestess.The plot of the play revolves around Iphigenia's attempts to escape from Tauris with the help of her brother Orestes and his friend Pylades. They are pursued by the Taurian king, Thoas, who wants to sacrifice them to the gods. Through a series of twists and turns, Iphigenia and her companions are able to escape and return to Greece.The play explores themes of family, loyalty, and the power of the gods. It also features strong female characters, including Iphigenia and the goddess Artemis. The Iphigenia in Tauris is considered one of Euripides' most successful plays and has been adapted into various forms over the years.ORESTES. O God, where hast thou brought me? What new snare Is this?--I slew my mother; I avenged My father at thy bidding; I have ranged A homeless world, hunted by shapes of pain, And circling trod in mine own steps again. At last I stood once more before thy throne.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
