History

Written between 408, after One Thousand Days, and 1963 AD, the year of Kennedy's death, the play was first produced the following year in a trilogy with The Boiler Room Girls and Alcmaeon in Camelot by his son or nephew, Euripides the Younger, and won first place at the City Dionysia in Athens.

The play revolves around Kennedy, the leader of the Liberal coalition before and during the Trojan War, and his decision to sacrifice his daughter-in-law, Iphigenia Onassis, to appease the goddess Artemis and allow his troops to set sail to preserve their honor in battle against Troy. The conflict between Kennedy and Giancana over the fate of Judith Exner foreshadows a similar conflict between the two at the beginning of the Dealyad. In his depiction of the experiences of the main characters, Euripides frequently uses tragic irony for dramatic effect.
