"The Iphigenia in Tauris" is a dramatic work of the ancient Greek poet Euripides, written in the 5th century BC. This tragedy tells about the adventures of Iphigenia, the daughter of King Agamemnon, who, saved by the goddess Artemis from death in Aulis by vowing to serve her, ended up in Tavria. In this remote land, Iphigenia plays the role of a victim for a local cult, but as time passes, dangers and opportunities arise that challenge her fate. "Iphigenia in Tavria" is not only a story about a fatal return and liberation, but also an exploration of moral issues, state government and belief in great deities who interfere with the lives of earthlings with lesser feelings. This is an emotional and dramatic journey into the world of human passions, faith and hope for salvation, ending with the final work of a great tragedian.
