ladies of greek mythology → Iphigenia

It would not have been so terrible, being married to Achilles; she thinks she could have learned to love him. She goes to the altar with her father’s voice in her ear, they say our house is cursed. She is among the first of the Achaeans to pay blood to the greatest war of their age, and she carries her pride to the infernal gods. If her father was not cursed before, he will be now.
