In Classical Greek tradition, Iphigenia Ghost exposes all the horror of the sacrifice. Iphigenia Ghost Volume 1 Iphigenia explores themes of sadness, grief, and anger as a recently sacrificied Ihpigenia trys to comfort her mother. Clytemnestra has just learned of her daughter's death at the hands of her husband Agamemnon. Caught between time and all eternity, Iphigenia has not yet journied to that other realm. She remains distant, yet important in the role of the patriarchal daughter who tries to comfort her mother, and father too. She is well aware that it is her fate to die for her country, and yet we are also made aware of the ambiguity in the horror of the sacrifice as she longs for those things she will never have. For here is a young woman on the threshold of matrimony, still under her mother and father's guidance, still entrenched in the depths of cultural differentiation: she knows nothing more than the warm environs of the family; a comfort she would lose either way- at the altar of marriage, or on the altar of Artemis.
