Greek Mythology > People, Places, & Things > Iphigenia in Tauris
A play by Euripides produced 414? BCE.
The play deals with the life of the daughter of Agamemnon, Iphigenia, after she was saved from the sacrificial altar and transported to the land of Tauris to serve as a priestess of Artemis.
When her brother, Orestes, arrived on the island to steal the image of Artemis, he was captured and scheduled for sacrifice; Iphigenia recognized Orestes and could not complete the sacrifice; they stole the image of Artemis and fled.
The play is also called: Iphigenia Among the Tauris, Iphigenia Among the Tauri and Iphigenia in Taurica.
