Excerpt from Iphigenia Both Racine and Schiller in modern times recognized the possibilities of Iphigenia at Aulis as a theme of world interest. But the sonorous verse of the former, though original, has not found favor out of the atmosphere of classic French tragedy. On the other hand, Schiller gave to his play all the naturalness and heart feeling of Euripides; but unfortunately it is a translation preserv ing the form and lines, even to the chorus of the orig inal, a method unadapted to modern dramatic art.
