The Greek leader Agamemnon, according to myth, either he or his troops slaughtered a hare, and then Agamemnon boasted that he was better with an arrow than the goddess Artemis herself. Offended, Artemis demanded that Agamemnon's first born child be sacrificed to her, otherwise the winds would not blow favorably for the Greek fleet and they would not be able to get to Troy to lay siege to the city. So, he sent word to his daughter, Iphigenia, and told her that she was to be married to Achilles. She came and was sacrificed.
