Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In The Iliad by Homer, Agamemnon upsets Artemis, which in result causes him and his men to be left stranded on an island with no wind to continue their journey. The only way to soothe the goddess's wrath is through Human Sacrifice, and not just any human, but the daughter of Agamemnon, Iphigenia. So as it happens, Iphigenia arrives to the island under the pretense of marrying Achilles. This doesn't happen, and she is instead sacrificed.Guess what! She actually survives by the help of none other than...Artemis, who replaces the girl with...a deer! Later she has to flee to Tauris (today known as the Crimean Peninsula), where she is the priestess of Artemis and...has to sacrifice every foreigner who may set foot on the land. Things are going a-okay, until two foreigners set foot on the peninsula. Guess what! They are actually Orestes, the brother of Iphigenia, and his companion Pylades. Do you wonder what Orestes has been up to this time? Matricide, of course! A little backtory here: In The Oresteia, Clytaemnestra, the wife of Agamemnon murders him upon his return to Argos, after hearing the news of Iphigenia's murder (whoops...), oh and he also brought home a mistress who refuses to talk to Clytae. Orestes has been sent into exile some time before, and Electra, the only alive and well child of Agamemnon is basically imprisoned in the castle, so no one can take revenge on their father. In the second play of the trilogy, Orestes returns from exile with Pylades, meets Electra then later kills Clytaemnestra (and also her lover/husband's cousin, but he isn't really important). In the final play, The Furies (here referred to as the The Eumenides) chase Orestes into madness. In order to be saved, Apollo instructs Orestes to steal an image of Artemis which lays nowhere else than...Tauris!Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This is where Euripides' drama picks up, and it was written sometimes between 414 BC and 412 BC. | |

Deus ex Machina: Iphigenia is saved by the gods twice. First at Aulis before her sacrifice, then after fleeing Tauris. | |

Arranged Marriage | |
| Iphigenia In Tauris (Theatre) / int_80621707 | comment |
Arranged Marriage: Iphigenia was "supposed to" be married to Achilles. Orestes also gave the hand of his sister, Electra to Pylades. | |

Happy Ending: Everyone has escaped from the clutches of the evil barbarians, they have the image of Artemis, the support of Athena, a place in Athens, no one of the trio had to die, and the long-lost siblings are reunited! Whoa. | |
