		Therefore, he sends a message to his wife, Clytemnestra, telling her to bring Iphigeneia to Aulis on the pretense that the girl is to be married to the Greek warrior Achilles before he sets off to war.
		Iphigeneia is thrilled at the prospect of marrying one of the great heroes of the Greek army, but she, her mother, and the groom-to-be in the supposed marriage soon discover the truth.
		Achilles is furious at having been used as a prop in Agamemnon's plan to lure his family to Aulis, and he vows to protect Iphigeneia - as much to save the innocent girl as to take revenge on her father for besmirching his own honor.

	Quick Guide to 'Iphigeneia at Aulis' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Whilst there are some problems of 'transmission' of the text, especially at the beginning and end of the play, it appears to have been very innovative both in terms of structure (greater number of different characters, shorter choruses, the first 'Episode' precedes the 'Parodos') and in terms of plot and characterization.
		As the title indicates, this play treats of the sacrifice of Iphigeneia at Aulis, on the east coast of the Greek mainland: prerequisite for the expedition to Troy to be able to set sail because Agamemnon had incurred the wrath of Artemis.
		Iphigeneia is on her way from Mycenae to Aulis, escorted by her mother Clytemnestra and baby brother Orestes, on the pretext that she is to be married to Achilles.

		Iphigeneia at Aulis is set in the port city of Aulis just prior to the start of the Trojan War.
		Helen has been taken by Paris to Troy, and as a result "all the Greeks sprang to arms." However, just as they are about to sail to Troy, the wind ceases, and their ships are unable to head out to sea.
		So Klytemnestra brings Iphigeneia to Aulis; and Agamemmnon is forced to choose between his daughter and his desire to lead his near-mutinous troops to war.

	Philologica 7 (2001/2002): V. N. Iarxo. Iphigenia at Aulis by Innokentij Annenskij (Summary)
		The aim of this paper is to describe Annenskij’s principles of translation, using one tragedy as an example, namely Iphigenia at Aulis (1898).
		Unlike all other extant tragedies of Euripides, the initial monologue of Iphigenia at Aulis, composed in iambic trimeters, is framed by a dialogue, and this part of the prologue is not written in the usual iambs, but in anapaestic dimeters.
		However, as a scholar, I would like to defend Euripides from excess sentimentality and false pathos, verbosity and unnecessary colloquialisms, which are imposed on him in the translation.

		Whereat the chivalry of Hellas, brandishing their spears and donning their harness, came hither to the narrow straits of Aulis with armaments of ships and troops, with many a steed and many a car, and they chose me to captain them all for the sake of Menelaus, since I was his brother.
		Come, then, begin the rites-that is the next step-by getting the baskets ready; crown your heads; prepare the wedding-hymn, thou and prince Menelaus with thee; let flutes resound throughout the tents with noise of dancer's feet; for this is a happy day, that is come for the maid.
		Let the army be disbanded and leave Aulis; dry those streaming eyes, brother, and provoke me not to tears.

	Steppin' Out
		Of late, classic Greek tragedies have gotten something of a bad rep as long, talky plays in which everyone either dies or is a part of eyebrow-raising family relationships (which often lead to lethal fights anyway).
		Iphigeneia at Aulis proves that the classics aren't all doom, gloom and bad relatives--even if it is the tale of a Greek princess who takes the idea of self-sacrifice a bit too literally.
		As it happens, the only way for Agamemnon to appease Artemis so the ships can sail is to sacrifice the life of his daughter Iphigeneia, so he summons the princess to Aulis, claiming he has arranged her marriage to eligible bachelor Achilles.
