Ifigenio en Taŭrido

by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe & Ludwik Lejzer Zamenhof (Translator)

  • First published: Date unknown
  • Language: Esperanto

"Ifigenio en Taŭrido" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a verse drama written between 1779-1786, reworking Euripides' ancient Greek tragedy. Saved from sacrifice by the goddess Diana, Iphigenia now serves as her priestess in Tauris, longing desperately for her Greek homeland. When King Thoas proposes marriage, she refuses—but her rejection threatens to restore the barbaric custom of human sacrifice. Meanwhile, her brother Orestes arrives with his friend Pylades on a divine mission, unaware that the priestess holds the key to lifting their family's deadly curse.
