""The Iphigeneia at Aulis"" is a tragedy written by the ancient Greek playwright Euripides. The play is set during the Trojan War and revolves around the Greek commander Agamemnon, who is faced with a difficult decision. In order for the Greek army to sail to Troy and win the war, the goddess Artemis demands that Agamemnon sacrifice his own daughter, Iphigeneia, as an offering. Agamemnon is torn between his duty to his country and his love for his daughter, and the play explores the moral and ethical implications of his decision. The play is filled with complex characters, including Iphigeneia herself, who must come to terms with her fate, and Achilles, the famous warrior who is torn between his loyalty to Agamemnon and his own sense of honor. ""The Iphigeneia at Aulis"" is a powerful and thought-provoking work that explores themes of sacrifice, duty, and the consequences of war.With Introduction And Notes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
