its-sixxers:Iphigenia (Princess of Mycenae)(c. 12th Century BC)Daughter of the greek King Agamemnon, whether she’s a historical figure or a mythical one has been lost to time, and neither myth nor history was ever particularly concerned with her life. It is her death that has concerned scribes - sacrificed by her own father to Artemis to atone for his sins and allow his armies to lay siege to Troy. Led unknowingly to her death, thinking herself to be married, tellings disagree on whether she was killed upon the altar or rescued by Artemis herself. Either way, her story ends there.Or so mortal minds know. In the darkest clouds of history, Iphigenia lived on - a disciple of the night, though devoted to no goddess - and prey no more. -- source link
