Iphigenie auf Tauris by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"Iphigenie auf Tauris" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a verse drama written in 1779 and revised in 1786. Based on Euripides' ancient tragedy, it follows Iphigenie, rescued from sacrifice and now a priestess on the island of Tauris.

When two mysterious strangers arrive—her brother Orest and his friend Pylades—a family cursed by generations of murder faces a chance at redemption, if only they can recognize each other.
