Euripides ― Iphigenia Among the Taurians

Euripides' Iphigenia Among the Taurians was much admired by Aristotle and the drama contains many Euripiden themes, including the juxtaposition of Greeks and barbarians and questioning of the gods. This addition to the Companions to Greek and Roman Tragedy series provides all the necessary background and apparatus for the student to appreciate the play, whether it is being read in translation or the original Greek.
