Abstract
Abstract Jane Lumley (1537?–1577?), Catholic noblewoman, left behind in manuscript Isocrates translated into Latin, two Latin letters, and Iphigeneia at Aulis (1555?), the Wrst extant rendering of a Greek tragedy into English. Probably consulting the Greek original along with Erasmus’s Latin translation, her primary source, Lumley strips the Euripidean action to its bare bones, omits the choruses and lyric Xights, and produces a redactive but powerful paraphrase. Christianizing the terms and meaning of the ancient drama, she transforms the alien pagan sacriWce into a contemporary martyrdom.
