«Ifigenia en Áulide» is the Greek tragedy by Euripides, published by Servizo de Publicacións e Intercambio CI (114 pages, in Spanish).
Agamemnon faces an extreme decision: the Greek fleet remains stranded at Aulis, and only the sacrifice of his daughter Iphigenia can appease Artemis. Euripides weaves family drama with political manipulation in a reflection on duty, sacrifice, and the human cost of war.
The edition includes an introduction, a study guide, and a translation by M. Acosta Esteban, with the text in Spanish.
Thanks to its study guide, it is especially useful for readers of classical theater and for working on the play in the classroom.
Euripides was a Greek tragedian of classical Athens. Along with Aeschylus and Sophocles, he is one of the three authors of Greek tragedy whose name is ascribed to surviving plays. Some ancient scholars attributed ninety-five plays to him, but the Suda says it was ninety-two at most. Nineteen plays attributed to Euripides have survived more or less complete, although one of these (Rhesus) is often considered not to be genuinely his work. Many fragments survive from most of his other plays. More of his plays have survived intact than those of Aeschylus and Sophocles together, partly because his popularity grew as theirs declined: he became, in the Hellenistic Age, a cornerstone of ancient literary education, along with Homer, Demosthenes, and Menander.
