| Summary |
"Iφιγένεια εν Ταύροις: Δράμα σε πράξεις πέντε" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a dramatic work written in the late 18th century. The story revolves around the character Iphigenia, the daughter of Agamemnon, who finds herself in a foreign land where she serves as a priestess. The play explores themes of identity, freedom, and the struggles faced by women, all framed within a narrative enriched by Greek mythology. At the start of the drama, Iphigenia reflects on her life and the pain of being separated from her family and homeland. She expresses a deep sense of longing and resignation as she recalls her past and the circumstances that led to her captivity. The scene transitions to her interaction with Arcas, who seeks her guidance regarding the king, Thoas, who appears to have an interest in her. As she grapples with the complexities of her situation, the tension builds around her fate, hinting at the larger themes of sacrifice and destiny that will unfold throughout the drama.
