As the harsh wind holds the Greek Fleet trapped in the straits at Aulis, frustration and political impotence turn into a desire for the blood of a young and innocent woman -- blood that will appease the gods and allow the troops to set sail. And when Iphigeneia, Agamemnon's beloved daughter, is brought to the coast under false pretenses,and when a knife is fashioned out of the finest and most precious of materials, it looks as if the ships will soon be on their way. But can a father really go to these lengths to secure political victory, and can a daughter willingly give up her life for the worldly ambitions of her father?
