Who was Iphigenia and what her role in the Trojan War was?
Iphigenia was the daughter of Agamemnon and Clymnestra. Agamemnon is the high king of the Greeks and ruled over Mycenae. A prophecy said that in order for the boats to sail safely to Troy, Iphigenia must be sacrficed. So Agamemnon came up with the scheme that Iphigenia was to marry Achilles, a great hero, but at the "marriage", she sacrificed her instead. There are alternate endings on how Artemis took pity on Iphigenia and replaced her with a deer at the last minute, and then made Iphigenia her priestess or that Pan sacrificed himself instead of Iphigenia.
