Cassandra

Finally! We get onto a name that does not begin with an A! Anyway, Cassandra is also know as Alexandra. (Sigh) She is the daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy. She was so beautiful that it caused Apollo to give her the gift of Prophecy. However, other people believe also that she spent the night at Apollo's temple, where snaked licked her ears clean, enabling her to hear the future.
 But when she did not return his love he cursed her so that no one would ever believe her predictions. She is seen as a figure of Epic tradition and Tragedy, because she had a deep understanding but was powerless to help humankind.
 Cassandra was twins with her sister Helenus, who was described as 'having brown hair kept i curls, brown eyes, fair skin and very beautiful, intelligent, charming, desirable, elegant, friendly, gentle, but also considered to be insane. Cassandra on the other hand was described as the second most beautiful woman in the world. Cassandra's beauty was even compared to Aphrodite and Helen of Troy.
 The cursed gift that Apollo gave to Cassandra became an endless source of pain and frustration to her. Sometimes this is depicted by the god spitting in her mouth. However, in Aeschylus Agamemnon it seems that she promised to Apollo to become his consort, but for some reason she broke it. Thus 'incurring his wrath'.
 Cassandra saw the destruction of Troy in her vision, she warned the Trojan's of the Trojan horse, the death of Agamemnon, and her own death. But she could do nothing to prevent it, as no one would believe her. Two people, Coroebus and Othronus came to aid Troy because of their love for Cassandra, and she had to witness her brother's body being brought back to the city, she was the first to witness it.
 At the fall of Troy, she attempted to seek shelter in a temple to Athena, but was abducted and raped by Ajax the Lesser. She was then taken as a Concubine by King Agamemnon. She was killed when Agamemnon and her lover, Aegisthus murdered her and Agamemnon. People believe she had twin son's, Teledamus and Pelops, who where both killed by Aegisthus.
