On the eve of the Trojan War, the Greek leader Agamemnon is at the port of Aulis and finds himself at odds with the goddess Artemis. She is holding back the wind that will allow his army to sail to Troy and demands the sacrifice of his beloved daughter, Iphigenia, to release it. As tensions mount, Agamemnon finds himself not only confronted by an impatient army but also by his wife, Clytemnestra, and his brother, Menelaus, as he considers his duties to his country and family. As his actions lead to sacrifice and further sacrifices, he sets his family on a bloody, violent path that will carry on through generations. This English adaptation of Euripides' classic play is written in rhymed verse to create an approximation of the rhythms and poetry of the original Greek text.
Autorenporträt
Euripides (Ancient Greek: ) (ca. 480 BC406 BC) was the last of the three great tragedians of classical Athens (the other two being Aeschylus and Sophocles). Ancient scholars thought that Euripides had written ninety-five plays, although four of those were probably written by Critias. Eighteen of Euripides' plays have survived complete. It is now widely believed that what was thought to be a nineteenth, Rhesus, was probably not by Euripides. Fragments, some substantial, of most of the other plays also survive. More of his plays have survived than those of Aeschylus and Sophocles together, partly because of the chance preservation of a manuscript that was probably part of a complete collection of his works in alphabetical order.
