Cassandra (Greek mythology)

In Greek mythology, Cassandra was a daughter of Priam, the king of Troy. She possessed the gift of prophecy, meaning she could see the future and predict events accurately. However, she was cursed by the god Apollo: although her prophecies would always come true, no one would ever believe her. This tragic fate led to significant consequences during the Trojan War, as her warnings about the fall of Troy and the dangers of the Trojan Horse were ignored. Cassandra's story serves as a powerful commentary on the themes of fate, disbelief, and the consequences of knowledge.
