A Dramatic Heist of Epic Proportion: Iphigenia among the Taurians in the Acts of the Apostles
While scholars have explored the profound influence of Iphigenia among the Taurians (IT) on Greco-Roman fiction, including Christian apocryphal Acts, the play has yet to be considered seriously as a potential inspiration on the canonical Acts of the Apostles.

A close comparison of IT with the story of the Ephesian riot (Acts 19:21-20:1) reveals a compelling relationship in matters of plot, setting, characterization, purpose, and themes. The Ephesus saga in Acts achieves a creatively miniaturized and satirized recasting of this famous Euripidean play. |
