In Greek mythology, Iphigenia was a daughter of King Agamemnon and Queen Clytemnestra, and thus a princess of Argos. Agamemnon offends the goddess Artemis by killing her deer. Artemis retaliates by interfering with the wind so that Agamemnon can't sail. A seer tells Agamemnon that he must sacrifice his daughter.

Why did ancient Greece stop war for the Olympics?

The Greeks highly valued physical perfection and and athletic prowess. These games were of supreme importance to them. With the "Olympic Truce," established in the 9th century, the Greeks began a sacred tradition of peace before, during, and after the Olympic games so that spectators could travel safely to and from events, and the games would not be interrupted. Even legal disputes were banished. In 1996 attempts began to revive this tradition. For a more complete discussion of the Olympic Truce and the importance of the Olympic games in ancient Greek culture, please refer to the links below:
