Euripides
Euripides, marble herm copied from a Greek original, c. 340â330 bce; in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale, Naples.
In the play Iphigenia Among the Taurians by Euripides, Iphigenia does not face further sacrifice after being saved by Artemis. Instead, she serves as a priestess at the goddess's temple in Tauris.12
Following a recognition scene where she discovers that the captive stranger brought to her for sacrifice is her brother, Orestes, the two devise a plan to flee. With the assistance of the goddess Athena, Iphigenia and Orestes successfully escape from Tauris, taking the sacred statue of Artemis with them to return it to Athens.12
