In the story of the Trojan War, there is perhaps no person as sad and troubled as
Cassandra. As the most beautiful daughter of Troy's King Priam, Cassandra should
have lived a life of comfort and pleasure. Instead, she suffered nothing but misery and
loss.
Cassandra was such a beautiful woman that the god Apollo hoped to win her love.
He tried to do this by giving her the special gift of being able to see the future.
Cassandra accepted the gift, but did not love Apollo in return. Angered by this, Apollo
cursed (詛咒) Cassandra by making everyone disbelieve what she said about the
future, even though it was sure to be true.
Cassandra was able to see many terrible events that were going to happen to the
Trojans. However, when she tried to warn people, they thought she had gone crazy
and refused to believe her. She was helpless to prevent both the fall of Troy and the
deaths of her family members.
After the Greeks defeated the Trojans, Cassandra was taken to the home of the
Greek king, Agamemnon. She knew that Agamemnon's wife planned to kill him and
Cassandra when they returned from the war. She tried to explain to Agamemnon the
danger they were in, but he refused to listen. Upon returning home, both of them were
killed, just as Cassandra had said. The gift of Apollo was really not a gift at all, but
rather a terrible curse.
