Birthplace: Greece
Cassandra, a respected Trojan priestess devoted to Apollo, was renowned for her gift of true prophecy. Despite her accurate predictions of disaster, she was cursed by Apollo to never be believed. In some versions of the myth, the curse stemmed from breaking a promise to the god, while in others, it resulted from a failed romantic engagement. Cassandra’s prophetic ability was heightened by snakes in a temple, allowing her to receive prophecies that were frequently ignored.
