Iphigenia was the daughter of Agamemnon, leader of the Greek forces against the Troy in the Trojan War. To appease the goddess Artemis (the Roman Diana), Agamemnon was told to sacrifice Iphigenia, seen in this illustration at Aulis, the port town in eastern Greece, where Agamemnon's fleet was prevented by Artemis from sailing until he had sacrificed her. When the sacrifice was about to take place, Iphigenia was whisked away to Taurus and an animal sent in her place.
