Who first put Iphigenia among the Taurians?

Proclus’ summary of the Cypria describes how Iphigenia was rescued by Artemis from her sacrifice, made immortal, and taken to the Taurians. Several scholars have proposed that this last detail is not in fact found in the Cypria, but was erroneously added to the summary under the influence of Euripides’ Iphigenia in Tauris. This note argues, by contrast, that we can rely on Proclus here, and that Iphigenia’s translation to the Taurians formed part of the myth no later than the sixth century BC. A codicil argues that Sophocles’ Chryses, which predated Euripides’ play, cannot be reliably said to have dealt with this legend.
