Book excerpt: In King Thaos's kingdom, Iphigenia is the priestess of Artemis who takes the lives of strangers in sacrifice for the gods. Until the day two special strangers are brought to her - strangers who she recognizes: Orestes, her brother, and Pylades, their cousin. To keep the king from sacrificing her family, the three begin to devise a plan of escape. But when the fateful day comes, will they manage to escape or will their plans be discovered resulting in the forfeiture of all their lives?Beneath your leafy gloom, ye waving boughs Of this old, shady, consecrated grove, As in the goddess' silent sanctuary, With the same shudd'ring feeling forth I step, As when I trod it first, nor ever here Doth my unquiet spirit feel at home. Long as the mighty will, to which I bow, Hath kept me here conceal'd, still, as at first, I feel myself a stranger. For the sea Doth sever me, alas! from those I love, And day by day upon the shore I stand, My soul still seeking for the land of Greece. But to my sighs, the hollow-sounding waves Bring, save their own hoarse murmurs, no reply. Alas for him! who friendless and alone, Remote from parents and from brethren dwells; From him grief snatches every coming joy Ere it doth reach his lip. His restless thoughts Revert for ever to his father's halls, Where first to him the radiant sun unclos'd The gates of heav'n; where closer, day by day, Brothers and sisters, leagu'd in pastime sweet, Around each other twin'd the bonds of love. I will not judge the counsel of the gods; Yet, truly, woman's lot doth merit pity. Man rules alike at home and in the field, Nor is in foreign climes without resource; Possession gladdens him, him conquest crowns, And him an honourable death awaits. How circumscrib'd is woman's destiny! Obedience to a harsh, imperious lord, Her duty, and her comfort; sad her fate, Whom hostile fortune drives to lands remote: Thus I, by noble Thoas, am detain'd, Bound with a heavy, though a sacred chain. Oh! with what shame, Diana, I confess That with repugnance I perform these rites For thee, divine protectress! unto whom I would in freedom dedicate my life. In thee, Diana, I have always hop'd, And still I hope in thee, who didst infold Within the holy shelter of thine arm The outcast daughter of the mighty king. Daughter of Jove! hast thou from ruin'd Troy Led back in triumph to his native land The mighty man, whom thou didst sore afflict, His daughter's life in sacrifice demanding, - Hast thou for him, the godlike Agamemnon, Who to thine altar led his darling child, Preserv'd his wife, Electra, and his son. His dearest treasures?-then at length restore Thy suppliant also to her friends and home, And save her, as thou once from death didst save, So now, from living here, a second death

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Goethe stood above the Germans in every respect and still does: he will never belong to them. How could a people ever be equal to Goethe's spirituality in well-being and well-intention! As Beethoven made music about the Germans, as Schopenhauer philosophized about the Germans, so Goethe wrote his Tasso, his Iphigenia about the Germans." Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human "In his Iphigenia on Tauris, Goethe has achieved the most admirable and beautiful thing possible in this respect." - Hegel, Lectures on Aesthetics A new 2023 translation into modern American English of Goethe's 1779 "Iphigenie auf Tauris". This edition contains an Afterword by the Translator, a Timeline of Goethe’s Life & Works and a Glossary of Philosophic Terminology used by Goethe. "Iphigenia on Tauris" is a dramatic play by Goethe, inspired by Greek mythology. The play follows the character of Iphigenia, who, after being spared from a sacrificial death by the goddess Artemis, finds herself in exile on the island of Tauris. It explores themes of fate, duty, and the possibility of redemption. Goethe's rendition of the myth offers a complex portrayal of the characters and their inner conflicts, presenting a compelling exploration of human nature and the intricacies of moral choices. "Iphigenia on Tauris" is admired for its poetic language, dramatic tension, and profound psychological depth, as show by both Nietzsche and Hegel's praise.

Book excerpt: Scene 1: Since Diana saved her from death (her father Agamemnon chose to sacrifice her in return for a favourable wind for Troy), Iphigenia has been serving as her priestess on Tauris. Although she is grateful to the goddess, and although she is held in high regard by King Thoas and his people, she longs more and more to return to her homeland. "And days together stand I on the shore, / seeking, in my soul, the land of Greece .."She laments her life as a woman in a foreign land, recognising that her normal fate would have been to be tied to a husband. "Woman's fate is lamentable ... / how narrow the limits to her happiness!"She begs Diana to reunite her with her family: "And rescue me, you who rescued me from death, / from this, the second death that I am living here."Scene 2: Arkas, the confidant of Thoas, King of Tauris, announces the King's arrival. Iphigenia admits her homesickness to him. Arkas reminds her of all the good she has done in Tauris, for example, ending the custom of sacrificing all strangers on Diana's altar. He explains that the King is coming to ask for her hand, and he advises her to accept. Iphigenia declines: marriage would tie her to Tauris for ever.Scene 3: Thoas makes his suit. Iphigenia justifies her refusal by her longing for Greece, and does her best to add other sound reasons, such as the curse that lies on her family, which condemns all the descendants of Tantalus to kill each other. She gives several examples. Thoas is not dissuaded, but Iphigenia now calls on Diana: "Has not the goddess, who rescued me, / and she alone, the right to my dedicated life?"Thoas threatens to reintroduce the old custom of human sacrifice, which she would be obliged to carry out, rather than allow her to leave.Scene 4: Iphigenia prays to Diana: she places her faith in the goodness and justice of the Gods, and she begs her to spare her from having to sacrifice innocent victims.

Book Synopsis Iphigenia Among the Taurians by : Euripides
Download or read book Iphigenia Among the Taurians written by Euripides and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-09-10 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brilliant and gripping classical drama of mistaken identities, divine intervention, a long-suffering family, and the rescue of a long-lost sister. I am Iphigenia, daughter of the daughter of Tyndareus. My father killed me. Few contemporary poets elicit such powerful responses from readers and critics as Anne Carson. The New York Times Book Review calls her work “personal, necessary, and important,” while Publishers Weekly says she is “nothing less than brilliant.” Her poetry—enigmatic yet approachable, deeply personal yet universal in scope, wildly mutable yet always recognizable as her distinct voice—invests contemporary concerns with the epic resonance and power of the Greek classics that she has studied, taught, and translated for decades. Iphigenia Among the Taurians is the latest in Carson’s series of translations of the plays of Euripides. Originally published as part of the third edition of Chicago’s Complete Greek Tragedies, it is published here as a stand-alone volume for the first time. In Carson’s stunning translation, Euripides’s play—full of mistaken identities, dangerous misunderstandings, and unexpected interventions by gods and men—is as fierce and fresh as any contemporary drama. Carson has accomplished one of the rarest feats of translation: maintaining fidelity to a writer’s words even as she inflects them with her own unique poetic voice. Destined to become the standard translation of the play, Iphigenia Among the Taurians is a remarkable accomplishment, and an unforgettable work of poetic drama.
