This work is the first major commentary on Euripides' Iphigenia in Tauris to appear in English in more than 65 years. It offers detailed analysis of a fascinating play that scholars so far had considered mainly as a source of information about Athenian cult and viewed as a romantic adventure story with happy end. Apart from including sober assessments of textual, linguistic and metrical problems, the commentary sheds new light on the play’s treatment of myth, its intricate structure, presentation of character, and place in Euripides’ work. In particular it offers fresh insights into the play’s relationship to the literary tradition, especially its treatment of the crimes of the Pelopids, and its presentation of the complex, ambiguous relationship of humans and gods as well as that of Greeks and barbarians. Unlike most other tragedies, Iphigenia in Tauris does not feature any villain and avoids concentrating on past crimes and their corrosive influence on the characters’ present. The Taurians are not portrayed simply as savage and slow barbarians and Iphigenia, the most intelligent character, fails to transcend her limitations. Religion and cult in both myth and contemporary Athens are a mixture of traditional and invented elements and the play as a whole turns out to be an intriguing and unique experiment in Euripides’ career.

Excerpt from Euripides Iphigenia in Tauris: Edited With Introduction, Notes, and Critical Appendix for Upper and Middle Forms The exact date of the Iphigenia in Tauris is unknown, but the evidence of style, chiefly metrical 1, marks it as a production of the poet's later days. If the allusion in 11. 574, etc., to the soothsayers be rightly considered, like the corresponding passage in the Helena (744 to refer to the Sicilian disaster, the year 413 or 412 b.c. May be assigned as a probable date; indeed the general resemblance in plot style and construction of this play to the Helena makes it likely that the two were produced about the same time 2. In order Of events the Tauric Iphigenia follows the Ipbigenidin Aalz'x at a distance of about twenty years; but there is no close connexion between the two dramas, the latter of which was probably composed in 406, but not exhibited until after its author's death.

Euripides' Iphigeneia among the Taurians has been a popular and influential text from antiquity onwards. It is a suspenseful drama set on the Black Sea coast in what is now Crimea, which explores themes of family loyalty, Greeks and barbarians, and the nature of the gods. The plot combines an unrecognised meeting between Iphigeneia, now a priestess of Artemis among the Taurians, and her brother Orestes, who with his friend Pylades has been captured and brought to her for sacrifice, with an exciting escape attempt for all three, ultimately brought about by divine intervention. This edition includes a full Introduction to the literary and production aspects of the play, while the Commentary elucidates problems of language as well as interpretation. These combine to make the play fully accessible to intermediate-level undergraduates and graduate students wishing to read it in the original Greek.

IPHIGENIA (singing) The Atreidae are no more; Extinct their sceptre's golden light; My father's house from its proud height Is fallen: its ruins I deplore. Who of her kings at Argos holds his reign, Her kings once bless'd? But Sorrow's train Rolls on impetuous for the rapid steeds .
