    About this ebook

    "Iphigenia in Tauris" is a tragedy by the ancient Greek playwright Euripides, written between 414 BCE and 412 BCE. It describes the possible meeting of Iphigenia, daughter of Agamemnon and her long-lost brother, Orestes. The absorbing play focuses on the siblings' escape from the local tradition of ritual sacrifice. It is one of the greatest ancient Greek tragedies and is usually described as a romance, a melodrama, or an escape play.

    Euripides

    Euripides was a tragedian of classical Athens. He was born on Salamis Island around 480 BC to his mother, Cleito, and father, Mnesarchus, a retailer who lived in a village near Athens. He had two disastrous marriages, and both his wives—Melite and Choerine (the latter bearing him three sons)—were unfaithful. He became a recluse, making a home for himself in a cave on Salamis. Along with Aeschylus and Sophocles, he is one of the three ancient Greek tragedians for whom any plays have survived in full. He became, in the Hellenistic Age, a cornerstone of ancient literary education. The details of his death are uncertain.

      Greek Tragedies Like Medea Are An Ethical Nightmare. That’s Why We Need Them | Charlotte Higgins

      Last week, I found myself – at the end of a gloomy day – shot through with a burst of fierce, electric energy. It came from watching Sophie Okonedo’s 90 minutes of flat-out fury as she played Medea, opposite Ben Daniels’s Jason, in Dominic Cooke’s pr
