Who was Cassandra?


  • In the Iliad, she is described as the loveliest of the daughters of Priam (King of Troy), and gifted with prophecy. The god Apollo loved her, but she spurned him. As a punishment, he decreed that no one would ever believe her. So when she told her fellow Trojans that the Greeks were hiding inside the wooden horse...well, you know what happened.

I was on the road to Ottawa too, yesterday. But I didn't write a poem, nor did I took a lovely photo. I just tried to stay awake.

Beth

I slept on the way home! J. was driving, and I could barely stay awake, finally gave in and slept even though it was mid-afternoon.
