Iphigenia In Aulis / Edition 1

by Euripides

Overview

Agamemnon's sacrifice of his daughter in order to ensure the good fortune of his forces in the Trojan War is, despite its heroic background, in many respects a domestic tragedy. Mr. Rudall's new translation retains Euripides' poetic beauty while fashioning a playable dialogue.
