Book Overview
Cassandra, the daughter of King Priam of Troy, is cursed with the gift of true prophecies that are not believed by anyone. She foretells the city's fall should Paris bring Helen as his wife, as well as the death of several of Troy's heroes and her family. The classic myth turns into much more in Lesia Ukrainka's rendering: Cassandra's prophecies are uttered in highly poetic language--fitting for the genre of the work--and are not believed for that...
