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.
