Brauron, Tomb of Iphigeneia

data access 69819

The small temple-like building is the supposed Tomb of Iphigeneia. According Eurypides And mortals will in future times celebrate Artemis Tauropolos with hymns. And establish this law: whenever the people keep the festival, let a sword be held  to a man's throat and draw out blood, in atonement for your sacrifice, so that the goddess may have her honors, and holiness is revered. You, Iphigenia, must be key-holder for this goddess on the hallowed stairs of Brauron, and will die there and be buried1.
