The rapid action in Iphigenia at Aulis arises largely from the characters’ altering states of mind and related matters of knowledge or ignorance of each situation. This article considers the motivation of Agamemnon and Menelaus in particular. Both characters reverse their stance dramatically, but the creation and receipt of false impressions makes it difficult for us to determine precisely what lies behind each change of mind.
