Sacrifice of Iphigenia, 1690-1700. On his way to the Trojan War, the Greek king Agamemnon offended the goddess Artemis by hunting and killing one of her sacred stags. She retaliates by preventing the Greek troops from reaching Troy unless Agamemnon kills his eldest daughter, Iphigenia, as a human sacrifice at Aulis.
