Excerpt from Goethes Iphigenie Auf Tauris: Edited With Introduction, Repetitional Exercises Notes and Vocabulary
As Iphigenia and the temple maidens are singing their dirge for dead Orestes, a herdsman enters with the news of his capture of two Greek youths. At first the priestess finds but small pity for the fate of her two countrymen, for she is brooding over the death of her brother and cherishing thoughts Of revenge upon Helen and Menelaus who have caused all her present woe. But soon she recalls her own exile and her softer self returns, to feel anew repellent horror at the bloody duty which she behaves Diana would never sanction, for no god is evil; men do but ascribe to them their own wickedness.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on Goethe's 1787 play "Iphigenia in Tauris," an adaptation of the Greek myth of Iphigenia, who was to be sacrificed to Artemis but was saved and taken to Tauris. The author analyzes the ways in which Goethe's play differs from the original myth, and discusses the themes of the play, which include the conflict between duty and desire, the power of love, and the importance of forgiveness. The book also examines the influence of Greek drama on Goethe's work, and discusses the play's significance in the development of German literature. By comparing Goethe's work to the original Greek myth, the author sheds light on the ways in which Goethe's play reflects the values and beliefs of his time, and the ways in which it still resonates with readers today.
