Description

Description from Project Gutenberg

"The Iphigenia in Tauris of Euripides" by Euripides is a drama written between 414 BC and 412 BC. Iphigenia, rescued from sacrifice by the goddess Artemis, serves as a priestess in a foreign land where she must ritually kill Greek strangers. When two captives arrive at her temple, she doesn't realize one is her brother Orestes, whom she believes dead. Their fated encounter sets in motion a desperate plan for escape and reunion.
