You find your sister as she is playing with wooden blocks. Next to her, you spy a piece of parchment with your name on it.
“Iphigenia, Mother told me to give this to you.” Your sister hands you the letter.
It’s from your father! You are to be wed to the great warrior Achilles! For the wedding, you must travel to Aulis where you will see your father and meet the young warrior who is to be your husband for the first time.
You understand that when you leave for Aulis, you will never return. Achilles will take you to Troy with him and you will be his faithful wife. Your heart sinks. You give Electra a big hug.
