	Philologica 7 (2001/2002): V. N. Iarxo. Iphigenia at Aulis by Innokentij Annenskij (Summary)
		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.
		One of the main peculiarities of Annenskij’s translation is his amplification of the original, wherein introspective verbosity replaces the logical lucidity and plainness of the Greek verse.
		In Iphigenia, one example of these three dots occurs in a passage of less than four poetic lines, and there are fragments in which we find two or three instances of three dots in each line!.

	deseretnews.com \| 'Iphigenia' resonates with meaning
		Agamemnon has come up with a scheme to allegedly wed his daughter to Achilles, which pleases his wife, Queen Klytemnestra — until she discovers that, in fact, the "wedding" is a ruse to lure Iphigenia to an altar of death, not marriage.
		Richard G. Scharine and Hugh Hanson are well cast as the feuding brothers Agamemnon and Menelaos, respectively, with Barbara Smith as the King's strong-willed wife Klytemnestra, traumatized by the events surrounding her oldest daughter.
		Jamie Greenland also does a fine job as Iphigenia, who idolizes her father and who, in the end, agrees that she will be blessed by the gods for giving her life for her country.
