This drama in blank verse, the first important work of Goethe's Classical period, stands the Iphigenia-Orestes story as treated by Aeschylus, Euripides, and Racine on its head. In Goethe's drama Iphigenia, daughter of Agamemnon, leader of the Greek forces in the Trojan War, in exile as a priestess in the barbaric land of the Tauri (Crimea), breaks the Tantalid family curse. She saves the life of her brother Orestes who has murdered his mother because she murdered his father. The female identity of the central character is all-important. It is uniquely her voice that brings resolution - not by preaching values but by the visceral force of belief in the rightness of the language of the heart. Translated from the German by Roy Pascal.

Review 'This translation is a matchless example of German poetry rendered into English by a master. Now sixty years old, and published for the first time, it is remarkable for its immediacy and urgency - It could have been written today.' Martin Swales, Professor Emeritus of German, University of London

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Superb By David K. First, I was very surprised and pleased to have found this free ebook. It may be an old translation, but it is nevertheless powerful. Anna Swanwick not only translated but was able to do so in iambic pentameter. I marvel at anyone who can do so. Of course almost all of Shakespeare's plays were in IP, and that is part of the reason he "created" so many words (in order to fit the 10 syllables in each line).The plot is well known, but is changed in places by Goethe. One must read it slowly as some sentences are "inverted" or have unusual word structures. If you are not familiar with the characters, the internet will provide all the background needed.Euripides wrote two plays about Iphigenia: I. in Aulis and I. in Tauris. Both are excellent plays full of drama and pathos. Sadly I have never seen them as free ebooks.
6 of 10 people found the following review helpful. One of the greatest dramas I know By H. Prior I can fall into line with the writer of the "product description" who did most wonderful. One exeption: instead of refering to a European spirit, Goethe's works at this time are to be related to the 'Klassik' period, strongly based on the resumption of the ancient Greek, Roman and renaissance ideas of humanity.I follow as well the given further recommendations of other plays, stressing esp. - e.g. - Gerhard Hauptmann, and adding, e.g., Friedrich Schiller, "Intrigue and Love", and Bertold Brecht, "The Good Person of Szechwan"!(Pls. don't imply to my comment I'd be focused too much on German drama and literature: I strongly appreciate as well e.g. plays of Tennessee Williams and Edward Albee, just to name some American writers.)
