	Iphegenia of Aulis a CurtainUp review
		Iphigeneia at Aulis by Euripides is not light fare and offers few laughs, so it would not be accurate to describe its unique charms as entertaining.
		There is this episode set in Aulis, the story of Iphigeneia's blood sacrifice, made by her father to the Gods on his promise to give up his most beautiful possession in exchange for safe passage to and military victory in Troy.
		The first offers what would seem to be a tragic ending (Iphigeneia is killed, Agamemnon loses his beloved daughter, and Clytemnestra is left alone in her rage), while in the second, Athena brings an end to the family curse and finally frees Orestes from the revenge cycle that killed his parents.

	Amazon.com: Iphigeneia at Aulis (Greek Tragedy in New Translations): Books: Euripides,W. S. Merwin,George E. Dimock (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		In their translation of Euripides' Iphigeneia at Aulis, noted American poet W.S. Merwin and eminent classicist George E. Dimock offer a compelling look at the devasting consequence of "man's inhumanity to man." A stern critique of Greek culture, Iphigeneia at Aulis condemns the Trojan War, depicting the ugly and awesome power of political ambition.
		Agamemnon's sacrifice of his daughter Iphigeneia to facilitate the Greek Armies advance on Troy is marvelously conveyed by Merwin, as he impressively recreates the broad array of moral and emotional tones with which Euripides has invested one of the most moving plays in the history of drama.
		Euripides' Iphigeneia at Aulis was not produced until after the author's death, and it is generally thought to be, to some degree at least, unfinished.
