«Ifigenia, hija de Agamenón» is the historical novel by Barry Unsworth, published by Edhasa in hardback (416 pages, in Spanish).
With the Greek fleet held at Aulis by contrary winds, Agamemnon decides to sacrifice his daughter Iphigenia to win the gods' favor and set sail for Troy. Unsworth rewrites the classical myth and presents Iphigenia as «la otra heroína de la Guerra de Troya», a figure of radical modernity who dialogues with power and destiny.
Part of the Narrativas Históricas collection. Translated by Ignacio Alonso. Original title: «The Songs of the Kings» (2002).
For readers of historical fiction and reinterpretations of Greek myths, with a contemporary view of classical characters.
