無料で聴く

In a dramatic twist of fate, the intended sacrifice of Iphigenia at Aulis by her father, Agamemnon, is miraculously averted by the goddess Artemis, who cleverly substitutes a deer for the daughter. Transported to the desolate shores of Tauris, Iphigenia becomes the chief priestess presiding over the grim fate of hapless foreigners. Haunted by the betrayal of her parents and yearning for revenge, she awaits the arrival of shipwrecked Greeks—unbeknownst to her, her own brother, Orestes, is among them. Considered one of Euripides most exquisite works, Iphigenia in Tauris encapsulates the tragic saga of the House of Atreides while painting a vivid scene of sunlight, sea foam, and bird flight through the insightful translation of Oxford scholar Gilbert Murray. This play offers a surprising twist with a joyful resolution, liberating the innocent and restoring balance. Yet beneath its uplifting conclusion lies a poignant undercurrent of human sorrow, homesickness, and the enduring nature of sadness that serves as a reminder of lifes fleeting joys.
