Iphigenia was Agamemnon and Clytemnestra's daughter who was sacrificed to appease Artemis. She was the sister of Electra and Orestes. In some stories, she was sacrificed, and in others, it was said that Artemis brought her to the land of the Taurians, where she was eventually rescued by her brother, Orestes, and his friend Pylades.
