قصة الكتاب :
Iphigenia in Tauris is a drama by the playwright Euripides, written between 414 BC and 412 BC. It has much in common with another of Euripides\'s plays, Helen, as well as the lost play Andromeda, and is often described as a romance, a melodrama, a tragic comedy or an escape play . The play, in which Euripides dramatizes the intersection and resolution of the Orestes and Iphigenia myths, takes place in Tauris, where the goddess Artemis has transported Iphigenia, having rescued her from sacrifice on the altar at Aulis by substituting a deer in her place . This chapter explores what elements in the myth are newly constructed by Euripides and what is the relationship between the cults mentioned in the play and cults practiced historically in both Attica and Tauris .
