- "Cassandra", by Lycophron, presents a complex and compelling exploration of prophecy, fate, and the tragic consequences of disbelief in the ancient world. This dramatic poem, steeped in Greek mythology, recounts the story of Cassandra, the Trojan princess cursed with the gift of prophecy but doomed never to be believed. Her desperate warnings about the fall of Troy go unheeded, leading to the city's destruction and her own tragic fate.Lycophron's work offers a unique perspective on one of the most enduring figures in classical literature. The poem delves into themes of divine punishment, human fallibility, and the conflict between knowledge and acceptance. This edition allows modern readers to engage with a foundational text that continues to resonate with its powerful depiction of human suffering and the burdens of foresight.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
