Summary: "Iphigeneia i Aulis" by Euripides is a classical Greek tragic play written in the early 5th century BC. The story revolves around the character Agamemnon, the leader of the Greek forces, who faces a harrowing dilemma as he considers sacrificing his daughter Iphigeneia to appease the goddess Artemis and ensure a successful voyage to Troy. The themes of family loyalty, duty, sacrifice, and the burdens of leadership are central to the narrative. The opening of the play introduces the tension surrounding Agamemnon as he prepares to send for his daughter under the pretense of her marriage to Achilles, while secretly harboring the intent of sacrificing her to appease the gods. We encounter other key characters such as Klytaimnestra, Agamemnon's wife, who is blissfully unaware of her husband's intentions, and reviews past events leading to this moment. As Agamemnon grapples with his moral conflict, he confides in an old servant, revealing his anguish and sense of obligation to the Greek army. The stage is set for a tragic trajectory that explores the clash between parental love and duty to the greater good. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
