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