""Iphigenia In Delphi: A Dramatic Poem"" is a play written by the ancient Greek poet Homer, which was first published in 1891.

Iphigenia is sacrificed by her father to appease the goddess Artemis, who has prevented the Greek army from sailing to Troy. However, in this version of the story, Iphigenia is saved from death by the intervention of Apollo, who takes her to Delphi to serve as a priestess. The play explores themes of sacrifice, loyalty, and the power of the gods in ancient Greek society.

Autor

Homer is the name ascribed by the Ancient Greeks to the semi-legendary author of the two epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey, the central works of Greek literature. Many accounts of Homer's life circulated in classical antiquity, the most widespread being that he was a blind bard from Ionia, a region of central coastal Anatolia in present-day Turkey. The importance of Homer to the ancient Greeks is described in Plato's Republic, where he is referred to as the protos didaskalos, "first teacher", of tragedy, the hegemon paideias, "leader of learning" and the one who ten Hellada pepaideuken, "has taught Greece". Homer's works, which are about fifty percent speeches, provided models in persuasive speaking and writing that were emulated throughout the ancient and medieval Greek worlds. Fragments of Homer account for nearly half of all identifiable Greek literary papyrus finds in Egypt.
