The play centers around Ifigenio, a priestess of Diana, who grapples with her involuntary servitude in a foreign land while longing for her family back in Greece. The work explores themes of identity, fate, and the moral dilemmas posed by sacrifice and loyalty. The opening portion of the play presents Ifigenio expressing her deep sorrow at being separated from her family and feeling like a stranger in a foreign land. She reflects on the plight of women, contrasting their roles against those of men, and laments her status as a captive. As she prepares for an impending royal visit from Toas, the King of the Taurians, tension builds regarding her fate and the possible sacrifice that the king may demand. Meanwhile, she receives a message that the king approaches for a celebratory sacrifice, hinting at the themes of duty versus personal desire and the looming specter of sacrifice that will embroil her and her newfound acquaintances. Throughout this beginning, the conflict between her past and her current reality becomes increasingly palpable, setting the stage for the ensuing drama.
