(cassandra (Greek: Κασσάνδρα, pronounced [kas̚sándra͜a], also Κασάνδρα), also known as Alexandra or Kassandra, was the daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of troy)
A common version of her story is that Apollo gave her the power of prophecy in order to seduce her, but when she refused, he spat into her mouth cursing her never to be believed. In an alternative version, she fell asleep in a temple, and snakes licked (or whispered in) her ears so that she was able to hear the future.
(snakes as a source of knowledge is a recurring theme in greek mythology, although sometimes the snake brings understanding of the language of animals rather than an ability to know the future)
(cassandra is a figure of epic tradition and of tragedy)
cassandra
(greek Κασσάνδρα, also Κασάνδρα, Κεσάνδρα, Κατάνδρα, also known as alexandra)
Her beauty caused Apollo to grant her the gift of prophecy.
(in an alternative version, she spent a night at Apollo’s temple, at which time the temple snakes licked her ears clean so that she was able to hear the future)
(this is a recurring theme in Greek mythology, though sometimes it brings an ability to understand the language of animals rather than an ability to know the future)
(however, when she did not return his love, apollo placed a curse on her so that no one would ever believe her predictions)
(she is a figure both of the epic tradition and of tragedy, where her combination of deep understanding and powerlessness exemplify the tragic condition of humankind)
