The Iphigenia in Tauris of Euripides(Free Ebook) by Euripides ( Author )
Click "free sample" to read the whole book no need to purchase. Generally known in English as Iphigenia in Tauris, this is, strictly speaking, the Latin title of the play (corresponding to the Greek Ἰφιγένεια ἐν Ταύροις), the meaning of which is Iphigenia among the Taurians. There is no such place as "Tauris" in Euripides' play, although Goethe, in his play Iphigenie auf Tauris (on which Gluck's opera Iphigénie en Tauride is based), ironically utilizing this translation error, posits such a place. The name refers to the Crimean Peninsula (ancient Taurikḗ).
