Euripides was a classical writer circa 450 B C. In his lifetime Euripides wrote over 90 plays. Eighteen plays have survived. Euripides reshaped the classic play. He wrote about strong women and intelligent slaves. He is also known for satirizing many of the Greek heroes of mythology. The reader is able to see the inner lives of his characters, which was a very modern theme at the time Euriides was writing. The plot summary from Wikipedia reads a follows. "Contrary to Iphigeneia's dream, then, Orestes is still alive and on his way to Tauris with Pylades to steal the sacred statue. They have no idea that Iphigeneia is there. They are captured by Taurian guards and brought to the temple to be killed, as is customary. Iphigeneia and Orestes discover one another's identities and together devise a plan to escape. Iphigeneia tells King Thoas that the statue of Artemis has been spiritually polluted because of her brother's matricide and advises him to make the foreigners cleanse the idol in the sea to remove the dishonour she, as its keeper, has brought upon it. The three Greeks use this as an opportunity to escape on Orestes and Pylades's ship, bringing the statue with them. Thoas vows to pursue and kill them but is stopped by the goddess Athena, who appears at the end to give instructions to the characters."
