mythology family ♥︎ iphigenia for @freiyja
in greek mythology, iphigenia was a daughter of king agamemnon and queen clytemnestra. in the story, agamemnon offends the goddess artemis on his way to the trojan War. she retaliates by preventing the greek troops from reaching troy unless agamemnon kills iphigenia as a human sacrifice. in some versions, iphigenia dies, but in others, artemis rescues her. in the version where she is saved, she goes to the taurians and meets her brother orestes.
