Many years after the events that led to the destruction of Agamemnon's family during the Trojan War, his daughter Iphigenia, long thought dead, lives among the Taurians as a priestess in the Temple of Artemis. Her duty to prepare any foreigner who arrives in Tauris for ritual sacrifice introduces her to a young Greek prisoner, who she will soon discover is none other than her long-lost brother, Orestes. Though they have been separated for many years and are far from home, the siblings devise a plan to ensure a safe escape and put an end to the curse of bloodshed that has plagued the House of Atreus for generations. This English adaptation of Euripides is in rhymed verse to create an approximation of the rhythms and poetry of the original Greek text.
