Taylor Swift has been constantly and consistently breaking the internet with pretty much everything she does. Her new video, directed by Joseph Kahn for the song Blank Space, has amassed 93 million views on YouTube in just a couple of weeks. But does the video take its inspiration from a Greek play rather than Swift’s impressive lyrics?

Some have compared Kahn’s video to Euripides’ famous ancient Greek play, Iphigenia in Tauris. Blank Space contains a few scenes which take us a long way back in time, maybe to the golden era of ancient Greece.

In the video, Taylor Swift transforms into a sexy yet jealous lover, plagued by the thoughts that her partner is being unfaithful. Her eventual insanity does have a startling resemblance to the plagued Iphigenia, who was almost sacrificed by her father Agamenmon before the Trojan War. In the play, Iphigenia is tasked with sacrificing foreign intruders at the temple of Artemis, but chance has one of those intruders be her brother Orestis.

The Taylor Swift video plays homage to the idea of sacrifice, with a deer even appearing in the video. When Iphigenia was about to be sacrificed by her father, the goddess Artemis replaced her with a deer, transporting her to the land of Tauris.

Swift’s video, seemingly in self-parody mode, means to imply that maybe the problem isn’t the boy, but her.
