This paper investigates how Iphigenia outgrows the process of repeating violence which she herself suffered by overcoming inner contradictions of different images of Artemis in Euripides’ play Iphigenia among the Taurians. Traditionally, most critics have marginalized Iphigenia through their focus on Aristotelian recognition or male philia between Pylades and Orestes. Iphigenia, instead, has been viewed as passive and deceptive. Recently, however, partly with feminist acknowledgement of agency in traditional nurturing women, Iphigenia, as a character, has been reconsidered, although the growth aspect of her character has not been discussed. This paper argues that Iphigenia overcomes the inner contradictions between violent and charitable Artemises, and that she finds her sense of self through faith and community. To contextualize the theme of change from violent to charitable, I first discuss Aeschylus’ Oresteia as a prequel to Euripides’ play, comparing the two writers’ different expressions of theodicy. I then describe the growing processes of Iphigenia.
Abstract
This paper investigates how Iphigenia outgrows the process of repeating violence which she herself suffered by overcoming inner contradictions of different images of Artemis in Euripides’ play Iphigenia among the Taurians. Traditionally, most critics have marginalized Iphigenia through their focus on Aristotelian recognition or male philia between Pylades and Orestes. Iphigenia, instead, has been viewed as passive and deceptive. Recently, however, partly with feminist acknowledgement of agency in traditional nurturing women, Iphigenia, as a character, has been reconsidered, although the growth aspect of her character has not been discussed. This paper argues that Iphigenia overcomes the inner contradictions between violent and charitable Artemises, and that she finds her sense of self through faith and community. To contextualize the theme of change from violent to charitable, I first discuss Aeschylus’ Oresteia as a prequel to Euripides’ play, comparing the two writers’ different expressions of theodicy. I then describe the growing processes of Iphigenia.
