Cassandra or Kassandra (Ancient Greek: , pronounced [kassándra], also ), also known as Alexandra, was a daughter of King Priam and of Queen Hecuba of Troy in Greek mythology. * Cassandra was cursed to utter prophecies which were true but which no one believed. A common version of her story relates how, in an effort to seduce her, Apollo gave her the power of prophecy. When she refused him, he spat into her mouth to inflict a curse that nobody would ever believe her prophecies. Another version has her falling asleep in a temple, where snakes licked (or whispered in) her ears so that she could hear the future.Cassandra became a figure of epic tradition and of tragedy. * In modern usage her name is employed as a rhetorical device to indicate someone whose accurate prophecies are not believed by those around them. |
