Description

Excerpt from Iphigenia in Delphi, a Dramatic Poem: With Homer's "Shield of Achilles," and Other Translations From the Greek Of Agamemnon, King of Mycenae, must be sacrificed to Artemis, to procure a passage to Troy for the Grecian fleet lying becalmed at Aulis. Iphigenia was brought to Aulis under pretence of a marriage with Achilles, and was about to be put to death when Artemis substituted a hind in her place, and conveyed her to Tauris in Scythia, where she became priestess. The Greeks believed that she had been actually sacrificed, and it was partly in revenge for this deed that Agamemnon was murdered on his return from Troy by his wife Clytemnestra. When Agamemnon's son Orestes had grown up, he took vengeance on Clytemnestra and her paramour xegisthus by the help of his sister Electra; and then, being persecuted by the Furies on account of the death of his mother, repaired to Delphi to.
