They all have blood on their hands. Having become Diana's high priestess in Tauride, Iphigenia prepares to immolate her brother Orestes, himself the murderer of their mother; she did not recognize her brother. Only the ties of blood and friendship will get the better of the ghosts that haunt Orestes and Iphigenia.
