Iphigenia was the daughter of Agamemnon and Clymnestra. Agamemnon is the high king of the Greeks and ruled over Mycenae. A prophecy said that in order for the boats to sail safely to Troy, Iphigenia must be sacrficed. So Agamemnon came up with the scheme that Iphigenia was to marry Achilles, a great hero, but at the "marriage", she sacrificed her instead. There are alternate endings on how Artemis took pity on Iphigenia and replaced her with a deer at the last minute, and then made Iphigenia her priestess or that Pan sacrificed himself instead of Iphigenia.

What is Iphigenia's role in the Trojan war?
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.
