Ιφιγένεια εν Αυλίδι
by Euripides
Translated by Ioannis Fragkias
"Ιφιγένεια εν Αυλίδι" by Euripides is a Greek tragedy written between 408 and 406 BC. The Greek fleet waits at Aulis, unable to sail for Troy until commander Agamemnon appeases the goddess Artemis by sacrificing his daughter Iphigenia. When his wife Clytemnestra arrives with their daughter, believing she's to marry the warrior Achilles, she discovers the horrifying truth. As family members clash over Iphigenia's fate and the restless army threatens mutiny, an impossible choice must be made between personal loyalty and national honor.
