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.
Oh, this is my favorite thus far! I love the "olds", we have only too remember. Hah!

Love this. The photo and the words. I wonder how many pieces of me I've forgotten, at least for a while.
