{"product_id":"iphigenia-in-taurus-johann-wolfgang-von-goethe-9781425467388","title":"Iphigenia In Taurus","description":"\"\"Iphigenia in Taurus\"\" is a play written by the famous German author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The play is based on the Greek myth of Iphigenia, the daughter of King Agamemnon, who was sacrificed to the goddess Artemis to ensure a safe passage for the Greek fleet to Troy. In Goethe's version, Iphigenia has been rescued from the sacrifice by Artemis and taken to Taurus, where she serves as a priestess in the temple of the goddess. The play begins with Iphigenia's brother Orestes and his friend Pylades arriving in Taurus, seeking to steal the statue of Artemis from the temple. However, they are captured and brought before Iphigenia, who does not recognize them. As the play unfolds, the characters grapple with issues of identity, family loyalty, and the power of forgiveness. \"\"Iphigenia in Taurus\"\" is a powerful and thought-provoking work that explores timeless themes and remains relevant today.THIS 78 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Dramatic Works of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
