I did Iphigenia in Aulis as my Greek A-level set text and very cheery it always seemed. As an exercise for the reader, compare and contrast with Troy (if you can do so without actually going to see it, that is, as I'm not sure it's really worth it). Somewhat differing views of Achilles for a start, as I remember.
