Iphigenia as a priestess of Artemis in Tauris sets out to greet prisoners 1st C. CE
"But the two youths, their hands fast bound in chains,
The late-seized victims to the Goddess, come.
Silence, my friends; for, destined at the shrine
To bleed, the Grecian strangers near approach;
And no false tidings did the herdsman bring."
-Iphigenia in Tauris, by Euripides
The late-seized victims to the Goddess, come.
Silence, my friends; for, destined at the shrine
To bleed, the Grecian strangers near approach;
And no false tidings did the herdsman bring."
-Iphigenia in Tauris, by Euripides
