Euripides' Iphigeneia among the Taurians has been a popular and influential text from antiquity onwards. It is a suspenseful drama set on the Black Sea coast in what is now Crimea, which explores themes of family loyalty, Greeks and barbarians, and the nature of the gods. The plot combines an unrecognised meeting between Iphigeneia, now a priestess of Artemis among the Taurians, and her brother Orestes, who with his friend Pylades has been captured and brought to her for sacrifice, with an exciting escape attempt for all three, ultimately brought about by divine intervention. This edition includes a full Introduction to the literary and production aspects of the play, while the Commentary elucidates problems of language as well as interpretation. These combine to make the play fully accessible to intermediate-level undergraduates and graduate students wishing to read it in the original Greek.

Reviews & endorsements
‘Any ‘intermediate level undergraduate’ who is tasked with studying IT should acquaint him/herself with K.’s edition, and consider him/herself very fortunate.’ Colin Leach, Classics for All
See more reviews‘[T]his edition is an excellent complement to the recent commentaries and monographs on the play. … Kearns’ edition makes a sizable contribution to the resources now at our disposal in reading ‘IT’, and does so in a format more conducive for those coming to the play for the first time. The volume will thus be a valuable companion to scholars working on the play, and a fine choice for instructors of upper-level undergraduates (and beyond) who are looking for a text and commentary as a primary course text.’ Jonah Radding, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
