Cassandra (character in Greek mythology)
Cassandra is a character from Greek mythology, known as a daughter of King Priam of Troy. She was granted the gift of prophecy by the god Apollo but faced a tragic curse: no one would believe her predictions. This meant her accurate warnings, such as foreseeing the fall of Troy and the dangers of bringing the Trojan Horse into the city, were ignored. Her story highlights themes of fate, the consequences of divine intervention, and the struggles of those who possess truth in a world unwilling to accept it. Cassandra remains a symbol for the misunderstood and marginalized voices in society.
