"Iphigenia in Tauris" by Euripides tells the story of Iphigenia, who has been taken to the land of the Taurians after being rescued from sacrifice by the goddess Artemis. In Tauris, she serves as a priestess, overseeing the gruesome rituals of her captors. When her brother Orestes arrives in search of her, he is on a mission to steal the sacred statue of Artemis. Unbeknownst to Iphigenia, they are siblings who reunite in a shocking twist. Together, they hatch a plan to escape from Tauris, confronting themes of identity, duty, and the bonds of family amidst the backdrop of fate and divine intervention.
