The Site of Iphigenia's Sacrifice in Boeotia, Greece is a place of significance in Greek mythology.
According to legend, this was where King Agamemnon of Mycenae attempted to appease the goddess of the hunt, Artemis, after his fleet was immobilized by her on the way to attack Troy. To this end, Agamemnon thought to sacrifice his daughter, Iphigenia. At the last minute, Artemis took pity on Iphigenia and substituted a doe in the young girl's place, saving her life and making her a priestess.[1]
During the Peloponnesian War, the site was visited by the Spartan misthios, Kassandra.[1]
