Excerpt from Goethes Iphigenie Auf Tauris: Edited With Introduction, Repetitional Exercises Notes and VocabularyAs Iphigenia and the temple maidens are singing their dirge for dead Orestes, a herdsman enters with the news of his capture of two Greek youths. At first the priestess finds but small pity for the fate of her two countrymen, for she is brooding over the death of her brother and cherishing thoughts Of revenge upon Helen and Menelaus who have caused all her present woe. But soon she recalls her own exile and her softer self returns, to feel anew repellent horror at the bloody duty which she behaves Diana would never sanction, for no god is evil, men do but ascribe to them their own wickedness.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
