| Summary | "Iφιγένεια εν Αυλίδι" by Euripides is a classical tragedy written in ancient Greece. The play explores the moral and emotional turmoil faced by Agamemnon, the king of Mycenae, who must choose between his duty as a leader preparing for war against Troy and the life of his daughter, Iphigenia. The central conflict revolves around Agamemnon's struggle to sacrifice his daughter to appease the goddess Artemis and enable the Greek fleet to sail. The opening of the play introduces the assembly of Greek forces at Aulis, where a protracted calm prevents them from departing for Troy. Agamemnon learns from the seer Calchas that the only way to lift the unfavorable winds is to offer his daughter as a sacrifice. To disguise the grim truth, he sends for Iphigenia under the pretense of arranging her marriage to the heroic Achilles. The audience sees Agamemnon's internal conflict as he grapples with his parental instincts versus the demands of leadership, setting the stage for the tragic events that will unfold throughout the play.
