      Greece's official submission to the 1978's Oscar in the Best Foreign Film category.
    • Goofs
      According to Greek mythology, Achilles was rendered impervious to wounds by having been dipped in the river Styx as an infant by his mother (all but his heel by which she held him). There is clearly a red mark on the upper arm of Panos Mihalopoulos (who portrayed Achilles). It could be a strawberry birthmark, but it looks like a healing wound which Achilles would not have.
    • Quotes

      Ifigeneia: Are you not happy to see me?

      Agamemnonas: I'm happy.

      Ifigeneia: You say it but your eyes betray you.

    A wonderful film
    This film was the first movie I ever saw and cried watching. It's an adaptation of the classic play by Euripides, Iphigenia at Aulis. The cast was wonderful, and the cinemotography was spectacular. The story of a young girl caught between her fears and the country's will, one cannot help but cry.
