The Iphigenia in Tauris of Euripides is a play that was originally written in ancient Greek and has been translated into English. It was first performed in 414 BC and tells the story of Iphigenia, the daughter of Agamemnon, who was sacrificed to the gods in order to ensure a successful battle in the Trojan War. However, in this play, Iphigenia is revealed to have been saved by the goddess Artemis and taken to Tauris, where she serves as a priestess. The play follows her encounters with her brother Orestes and his friend Pylades, who have come to Tauris to retrieve a statue of Artemis.
