| | Iphigenia |
 | | The prophet Calchas divined that the daughter of Agamemnon would have to be sacrificed to atone for the offence. |  | | Agamemnon, or perhaps one of the troops in the Greek force of Menelaus (the brother of Agamemnon) offended Artemis, the virgin goddess of the hunt either by killing one of her sacred animals and/or by boasting immoderately that his hunting skill exceeded even that of Artemis. |  | | The complexity of Iphigenia's story is present in many of the heroines of Greek mythology. |

| | Iphigenia, Greek Mythology Link. |
 | | According to some, Iphigenia, who after flying to the gods returned home, died in Megara, by coincidence or not, the home-town of the seer Calchas; others say that she is Hecate by the will of Artemis, and that the Taurians sacrificed castaways to a maiden called Iphigenia, daughter of Agamemnon. |  | | Iphigenia, they say, was made immortal and ageless by Artemis, and she lives, married to Achilles, in the White Isle, which is in the Black Sea near the mouths of the Danube. |  | | And so Clytaemnestra and Iphigenia, who were at Mycenae, received a deceitful letter from Agamemnon, asking them to join him in Aulis where Iphigenia, he wrote, was going to be given in marriage to Achilles. |

 | | Iphigenia says that Tantalus' guilt against the gods was a human excess of pride, but the gods have been cruel and unjust cursing his descendants with madness. |  | | Iphigenia concocts a scheme to escape with the idol.(266) She tells King Thoas that she cannot sacrifice the two Greeks until she purifies their pollution, since they were matricides. |  | | Yet, Iphigenia denies that eitherthe gods or the Tantalids are evil; instead she blames the Tauriansfor their practice of human sacrifice: "For my part I do not believe that Tantalus spread a banquet for the gods at which they enjoyed achild for victuals! |

 | | At Iphigenia's urging, the Greeks make use of Orestes' plight: as a matricide, he is unclean and must be consecrated before his sacrifice. |  | | When they hear the contents, which are addressed from Iphigenia to her brother Orestes, brother and sister are joyfully reunited. |  | | Performed in the fifth century in Athens, Euripides' plays about Iphigenia and her unfortunate family history are set against the backdrop of a more primitive, pre-historical Greek age. |

| | Philologica 7 (2001/2002): V. N. Iarxo. Iphigenia at Aulis by Innokentij Annenskij (Summary) |
 | | One of the main peculiarities of Annenskij’s translation is his amplification of the original, wherein introspective verbosity replaces the logical lucidity and plainness of the Greek verse. |  | | In such a situation, the translator would rather conserve the traditional composition of the text and, in any case, translate the anapaestic part of the prologue using anapaests. |  | | I would read Iphigenia at Aulis with great pleasure, if it were another “ancient” tragedy by Annenskij himself. |

 | | Menelaus's brother, Agamemnon, King of Mycenae, sacrifices his own daughter Iphigenia to the gods in return for a victory against the City of Troy (and a wind to blow his fleets there). |  | | The AULIS thus became a two-character sketch going into Beckett-land: Clytemnestra and Iphigenia are summoned to Aulis, having been told the latter shall marry Achilles, whereas only death awaits her. |  | | Instead, the siblings struggle over who kills who: Iphigenia must kill, because her brother is a man; Orestes must kill, because he needs that statue to end the curse on his house. |
