One of the most important classics, and for a reason. If you enjoy ritual sacrifice and parental ownership of a child you'll enjoy this play.
SpoilerIphigenia's decision to sacrifice herself at the end of the play would have held more weight if we'd seen more of her thoughts when she first learned of it,
but the fact that we were focussing so closely on Clytemnestra's opinions instead holds its own interest.
