Description

Description from Project Gutenberg (opens in a new tab)

"Iphigenie auf Tauris" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a verse drama written in 1779 and revised in 1786. Based on Euripides' ancient tragedy, it follows Iphigenie, rescued from sacrifice and now a priestess on the island of Tauris. She longs for her Greek homeland while serving King Thoas, who desires to marry her. When two mysterious strangers arrive—her brother Orest and his friend Pylades—a family cursed by generations of murder faces a chance at redemption, if only they can recognize each other.
