Iphigenia at Aulis is widely regarded as the acclaimed last play of Euripides. It tells the story of a man called Agamemnon, who was the king in charge of the "Greek coalition [of armies] before and during the Trojan War." To that end, Agamemnon must make an incredibly hard choice: if he decides to sacrifice the life of his beloved daughter, then his forces will fare will during the Trojan War. If he doesn't, however, his forces will fare poorly.
Euripides was known for writing tragedies, and Iphigenia at Aulis is no exception. And while not as well-read and as well-received as some of his other works, Iphigenia at Aulis continues to enjoy positive reviews to this day. In their review of the play, for example, The New York Times wrote that the play is a "classic" and that it is incredibly "strong" and innovative and fun.
