Iphigenia in Delphi is a dramatic poem written by Homer in 1891. The play is based on the ancient Greek myth of Iphigenia, the daughter of Agamemnon, who is sacrificed to the goddess Artemis to appease the gods and ensure a safe voyage for the Greek army to Troy. In this version of the story, Iphigenia is rescued by Artemis and taken to Delphi, where she becomes a priestess of the goddess. The play explores themes of sacrifice, duty, and redemption, as Iphigenia struggles to reconcile her past with her present and find meaning in her new life. The language of the play is poetic and lyrical, with vivid descriptions of the natural world and the inner thoughts and emotions of the characters. Overall, Iphigenia in Delphi is a powerful and moving retelling of a classic myth, with a timeless message about the human condition and the search for meaning and purpose in life.With Homer�������s Shield Of Achilles And Other Translations From Greek.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
