Iphigenia was the daughter of king Agamemnon and queen Klytaimnestra and thus a princess of Mycenae in Greek mythology. She was also sister of Orestes.
Biography
Mythology
According to the story, Iphigenia brought back a statue of Artemis from Tauris.[1]
In the 12 century BCE, when Agamemnon's ships were immobilized by the goddess Artemis on their way to Troy during the Trojan War, Agamemnon sought to appease the goddess by sacrificing Iphigenia. However, Artemis[2] intervened, and replaced the girl with a doe.[1]
Afterlife
Iphigenia, now with the epithet "The Sacrificed", resided in the simulation of Elysium, wherein she oversaw a complex.[2]
Influence
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]
