Iphigenia

Iphigenia Iphigenia was the eldest daughter of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon. When in Aulis, Agememnon killed a stag in a grove sacred to Artemis. Angered, Artemis stopped the winds so that the Greek fleet could not sail to Troy. The only way the Greek fleet would sail was if Iphigenia was sacrificed. Agamemnon at first adamantly refused, but, under pressure, Agamemnon slowly gave in and he agreed to the sacrifice. Agamemnon told Clytemnestra and Iphigenia that the great Achilles wished to marry Iphigenia. Upon hearing this news, Clytemnestra immediately brought Iphigenia to Aulis where she was to iphigenia, agamemnon, clytemnestra, troy, sail, greek, fleet, aulis, war, set, sacrifice, lying, killed, first, death, brought, artemis, wished, winds, wedding, wed, way, upside, upon, under, true, trojans, trojan, tricking, told, stopped, stag, soon, slowly, sacrificed, sacred
