Iphigenia was the daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra. Agamemnon was the brother of Menelaus, the King of Sparta, and was unable to sail to Troy until he sacrificed Iphigenia to the goddess Artemis, since he had slain one of her woodland creatures. After sacrificing his daughter, Agamemnon was able to travel to- and fight in- the Trojan war.
The death of Iphigenia plays a significant role following the Trojan war, as Clytemnestra was obviously furious at her husband for his actions. It was said that Clytemnestra killed Agamemnon upon his return, and considered this an 'execution' rather than a murder. This tale can be found in the play Agamemnon, by Aeschylus.
