Iphigenia Rock

Natural object

CRIMEA - IS UKRAINE!

The volcanic rock above the sea (120 meters), bearing the ancient name Iphigenia, is a symbol of the village of Berehove (Kastropol).

The myth about Iphigenia, the daughter of the Hellenic king Agamemnon, a participant in the Trojan War, is connected with her. Iphigenia was a priestess of the goddess Artemis in Tauris, and, according to legend, sacrificed sailors who happened to be here, throwing them into the sea from a cliff (this plot is used in the classic tragedy of Euripides "Iphigenia in Tauris").

Due to its ancient age and picturesque appearance, the rock has been declared a natural monument and is under state protection.
