Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Iphigenia in Tauris, Vol. 20: Torquato Tasso Goetz Von Berlichingen The drama of "Iphigenia in Tauris" has been considered Goethe´s masterpiece: it is conceived in the spirit of Greek ideality, and is characterised throughout by moral beauty and dignified repose. Schlegel styles it an echo of Greek song, an epithet as appropriate as it is elegant; for, without any servile imitation of classic models, this beautiful drama, through the medium of its polished verse, reproduces in softened characters the graceful and colossal forms of the antique. The destiny of Agamemnon and his race was a favourite theme of the ancients. It has been dramatised in a variety of forms by the three great masters of antiquity; and from these various sources Goethe has gathered the materials for his drama, enriching it with touches of sublimity and beauty selected indiscriminately from the works of each. The description of the Furies in the third act is worthy of Æschylus, and in the spirit of the same great writer is the exclusion of these terrific powers from the consecrated grove symbolical of the peace which religion can alone afford to the anguish of a wounded conscience. The prominence given to the idea of destiny, together with the finished beauty of the whole, reminds us of Sophocles; while the passages conveying general moral truths, scattered throughout the poem, not unfrequently recall to our recollection those of a similar character in the dramas of Euripides. The two dramas of Euripides are founded upon the well-known story of Iphigenia. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
