Cassandra, Princess of Troy

In Greek mythology, Cassandra was the daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy. Cassandra’s beauty and intelligence were renowned. Indeed, the god Apollo fell in love with her and offered to grant her the gift of prophecy in exchange for her affection. Cassandra accepted the gift but refused Apollo’s love, so he cursed her so that no one would believe her prophecies, no matter how accurate they proved to be.
As a priestess of Apollo, Cassandra was gifted with the extraordinary ability to foresee the future. Her prophetic visions were believed to be divinely inspired and highly revered among the people of Troy, often sought after by kings and nobles for her insights and advice. Her destiny took a tragic turn when, after spurning his advances, Apollo cursed her with a terrible fate: to speak true prophecies that no one would believe. Her warnings to the Trojans were ignored, and she was unable to prevent the fall of her city.

Love this portrait the delicate treatment of the fabric and all the fine details is beautiful. The Cassandra syndrome is one of those things that has been discussed at great length in this household. We refer to it in relation to those ‘conspiracy theories’ that turn out to be true. There are so many instances where genuine ideas and theories are publicly ridiculed as a way of dismissing legitimate debate, particularly in political circles.
