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.
Glad it went well!

How I envy you. Loss of hearing and a persistent ringing in my right ear have pretty well ruined the pleasures of music for me. I'm reading more poetry, though, which compensates some.
