Iphigenia: A Greek Myth Retold

Iphigenia is a bold and emotionally rich reimagining of the mythological tale, told through the voice of the often silenced heroine. Born to Clytemnestra and Agamemnon, key figures in the lead up to the Trojan war, Iphigenia carves out her own identity amid the weight of dynastic expectations divine will, and looming conflict. From her earliest days as a spirited princess yearning for adventure, to her transformation into a devoted priestess of Artemis, her story is one of resilience, self discovery, and quiet rebellion. But when an oath sworn in Helen's youth triggers a war, and the gods demand an unthinkable sacrifice, Iphigenia must confront the ultimate test of faith, love and agency. A tale as timeless as it is timely, Iphigenia breathes new life into a tragic legend with depth, empathy, and an unapologetic voice.
