Synopsis "The Gates of Aulis"
The Gates of Aulis is a novel written by Gladys Schmitt. The book tells the story of the ancient Greek mythological tale of the sacrifice of Iphigenia. The story takes place during the Trojan War when the Greek army is preparing to sail to Troy to fight against the Trojans. However, the winds are not in their favor, and they are unable to set sail. The Greek army is informed by the seer Calchas that the only way to appease the gods and gain favorable winds is to sacrifice Iphigenia, the daughter of Agamemnon, the leader of the Greek army. The novel explores the themes of sacrifice, duty, and morality. It delves into the emotional turmoil of Agamemnon as he struggles with the decision to sacrifice his own daughter for the greater good of his army and his country. The book also portrays the character of Iphigenia and her acceptance of her fate, as well as the reactions of the other characters to the sacrifice.The Gates of Aulis is a well-researched and beautifully written novel that brings to life the ancient Greek myth in a new and engaging way. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Greek mythology, ancient history, or classical literature.This is a new release of the original 1942 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
