Iphigenia by Jean Racine (1639 - 1699) is a arts podcast hosted by LibriVox. It has 5 episodes, with the latest published January 1970.

Racine's version of the time-honored story of Iphigenia was acted for the first time in 1674. The model upon which it is shaped is the "Iphigenia in Aulis" of his favorite Euripides, but the French poet has heightened the romantic interest and complicated the plot by the important part which Eriphyle is made to play. - Summary by IntroductionCast list:Agamemnon: Greg GiordanoAchilles: Alan MapstoneUlysses: ToddHWClytaemnestra, Wife of Agamemnon: SoniaIphigenia, Daughter of Agamemnon: Jenn BrodaEriphyle, Daughter of Helen and Theseus: Diana Helen KennedyArcas, Servant of Agamemnon: Tomas PeterEu
