Cassandra, divination, Homer, Pindar, AeschylusAbstract
For us, the modern readers, the Homeric verses consecrated Cassandra’s beauty and the Pindaric verses, for their turn, acknowledge her as a seer. It is however in Aeschylus’ Agamemnon that the main features of Cassandra’s character are mostly present. This article aims to show three moments in the representation of the Trojan princess – her Homeric, Pindaric and Aeschylean portraits –, stressing in the chosen texts the relation between the character and past, present, and future time.
