Teatro Greco di Siracusa, Ifigenia in Aulide di Euripide, Agamennone di Eschilo (1918). Duilio Cambellotti. Colour lithograph print on paper poster.
The Greek fleet is about to sail from the port of Aulis, under the command of Agamemnon, to avenge the affront of Paris, the kidnapper of the beautiful Helen, wife of Menelaus. At the beginning of the tragedy the king tells an old servant that the goddess Artemis, angry with the Greeks, blocks the fleet with a calm and that the soothsayer Calcante has announced that to placate the wrath of the goddess it is necessary to sacrifice Iphigenia, daughter of Agamemnon.
