In the commonly held myth, Cassandra was given the gift of prophecy by the god Apollo. However, after she rejected his advances, he cursed her by ordaining that her prophecies would never be believed. As a result, she accurately predicted events such as the fall of Troy and the death of Agamemnon, but her warnings went unheeded.
