Who was Iphigenia and what her role in the Trojan War was?

Iphigenia was the daughter of Agamemnon and Clymnestra. Agamemnon is the high king of the Greeks and ruled over Mycenae.

So Agamemnon came up with the scheme that Iphigenia was to marry Achilles, a great hero, but at the "marriage", she sacrificed her instead.
