	Iphigeneia at Aulis
		Iphigeneia at Aulis, written in 410 BC, is the last surviving work of the playwright Euripides.

		Iphigeneia was swept off by the gods, thus paving the way for the plot of another of Euripides' plays, Iphigeneia in Tauris.

	Aristotle's Poetics: Notes on Euripides' Iphigeneia in Tauris
		The sacrifice of Iphigeneia is not an isolated event in the history of this family: Orestes has killed his mother; Clytaemnestra killed her husband; Atreus killed his nephews and fed them to his brother Thyestes; Tantalus killed his own son Pelops and tried to feed him to the gods.
		Aristotle regards the recognition of Iphigeneia (her identity is revealed as a consequence of her plan to send a letter to her brother) as an example of the best kind of recognition, i.e.
		For example, it would now be Iphigeneia who, having recognised her brother, has to establish her identity: since Orestes 'knows' that his sister is dead, that might not be easy.

		Iphigeneia T. is dated to the late 410s on stylistic ground, probably falling somewhere between Troiades and Helen, around the same time as Ion.
		Iphigeneia has lived in the land of the Taurians on the Black Sea ever since she was apparently sacrificed by her father Agamemnon in order to secure favourable winds for the Trojan expedition; in fact, Artemis substituted a deer for the girl and rescued her.
		Years later, Iphigeneia longs to return to Greece and leave her position as priestess of Artemis, in which she is obliged to sacrifice all Greeks who come to that country.

	Orestes (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The story of Orestes was the subject of the Oresteia of Aeschylus (Agamemnon, Choephori, Eumenides), of the Electra of Sophocles, of the Electra, Iphigeneia in Tauris, and Orestes, of Euripides.
		With Aeschylus the punishment ends here, but, according to Euripides, in order to escape the persecutions of the Erinyes, he is ordered by Apollo to go to Tauris, carry off the statue of Artemis which had fallen from heaven, and bring it to Athens.
		He goes to Tauris with Pylades, and the pair are at once imprisoned by the people, among whom the custom is to sacrifice all strangers to Artemis.

		The modern reader may have difficulty conceiving of Iphigeneia in Tauris as tragedy, for the term in our sense is associated with downfall, death, and disaster.
		While not one of his "deep" dramatic works, the play is Euripidean in many respects, above all in its recurrent theme of escape, symbolized in the rescue of Iphigeneia by Artemis, to whom she was about to be sacrificed.

		Iphigeneia in Tauris (The Greek Tragedy in New Translations) (Euripides, Translated by Richmond Lattimore, Richmond Lattimore 1906-1984)
		"Iphigenia in Tauris" takes place after the Orestia trilogy by Aeschylus (Athena refers to the events of the final play), and one of the more interesting elements of this play is the idea that Orestes had been hallucinating when he was seeing the Furies pursuing him.

		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.

		The site was well known in antiquity as Iphigeneia supposedly brought to Brauron an image of Artemis, which she stole from Tauris with Orestes (Euripides, "Iphigeneia in Tauris" 1446-1467).
		A cave in the side of the acropolis was used as a shrine to Iphigeneia in the site's earliest years, but in the 5C BC, the roof fell in.
		The cave, at that time, was generally known as the Tomb of Iphigeneia and it does seem as if other nearby tombs belong to the priestesses of Artemis.
