Iphigenia was the daughter of Agamemnon and thus a princess of Mycenae in Greek mythology. She was also sister of Orestes.
When Agamemnon's ships were immobilized by the goddess Artemis on their way to Trojan War, Agamemnon sought to appease the goddess by sacrificing Iphigenia. However, a goddess intervened, and replaced the girl with a doe.[1]
By the 5th century BCE the Site of Iphigenia's Sacrifice within Cursed Land of Oedipous in Boetia was still standing, a deer's corpse on the altar when the Spartan misthios Kassandra visited it.[1]
According to the story, Iphigenia brought back a statue of Artemis from Tauris.[1]
She resided in the Elysium, wherein she oversaw a complex.[2]
