Definition
- 1Hija de Agamemnón y Clitemnestra, rey de Micenas. Su padre jefe de los griegos reunidos contra Troya, la quiso sacrificar a Diana para obtener la protección de los dioses, que mantenían, gracias a los vientos adversos, la flota helénica cautiva en el puerto de Aulis. Pero la diosa substituyó a Ifigenia una ternera y se llevó la joven a Táuride, donde fue sacerdotisa suya.
