You can learn more about the tragic story of Cassandra here in my video about Athena: https://youtu.be/92_AEqVlY5A

And here are the other two videos from my "House of Atreus" series:
(The Anger of Achilles - Sacrifice of Iphigenia) https://youtu.be/SPaJaijBJ6g
(Orestes Pursued by the Furies) https://youtu.be/Njz3TlgqBhs

This video explores the motive behind Queen Clytemnestra's killing of her husband Agamemnon and princess Cassandra who he's brought back as a trophy from the Trojan War. The text was taken from the tragedian Aeschylus' drama known as Agamemnon, the first installment in his trilogy known as The Oresteia.

The specific translation I used is by Robin Bond and can be read in full here:
