Pictures from the Royal Academy: The Sacrifice of Iphigenia - Reginald Arthur, 1895. In Greek mythology, Agamemnon offends the goddess Artemis on his way to the Trojan War by hunting and killing one of Artemis's sacred stags. She retaliates by preventing the allied troops from reaching Troy unless Agamemnon kills his eldest daughter, Iphigenia, at Aulis as a human sacrifice. In some versions, Iphigenia dies at Aulis, and in others, Artemis rescues her. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
