Cassandra of Troy was a figure from Greek mythology. She was the daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy, making her a princess of the city-state. Cassandra is often remembered for her tragic fate: she was cursed by the god Apollo to make accurate prophecies, but never to be believed.
Cassandra's story has become a symbol of the frustration of having knowledge or insight but being unable to influence or prevent the unfolding of tragic events. Her tragic fate has been a popular subject in literature, art, and drama throughout history.
