Book Description In danger of losing his command, Agamemnon considers sacrificing his daughter to the gods. How far will he go to save face and secure victory in the East? Don Taylor's faithful translation contemplates the morality of war, a theme as valid today as when the play was written, over 2,000 years ago. Don Taylor was a poet and playwright. His translation of Iphigenia was produced to great acclaim in summer 2004 at the National Theatre. He died in 2003.
