Euripides’ “Iphigenia in Taurus” focuses on what happened to the young princess Iphigenia after she narrowly avoided death by sacrifice at the hands of her father Agamemnon. According to legend, she was swept away and taken to an island by goddess Artemis. It appears that Taylor Swift has been inspired by the story of Iphigenia, who was made priestess at a temple of an inhospitable island where foreigners are sacrificed.
