Once upon a time, in the city of ancient Troy which has existed for over 4000 years and known as the centre of ancient civilisation but this city is also believed to be the centre of the ancient disastrous Trojan war and this is also the city in which our story will start.
In this city, the king Priam and his queen Hecuba gave birth to twins - a boy and a girl which caused a great celebration and both of them were named hector and Cassandra or (Kassandra) in Greek language.
These two beautiful twins were born with rare gifts which was the gifts of prophecy and children whom are born with these types of gifts are usually offered to the guardian god whom their family is dedicated to serving as priests or priestesses but since hector, one of the twins is the first born and only son, hector was thereby not chosen but the youngest of the twins, the daughter, Cassandra was thereby chosen to dedicate her life in serving god Apollo whom is their guardian and patron (pantheon).
Cassandra thus became the priestess of god Apollo (the god of the sun & light, archery, music & dance, truth & prophecy, healing and disease) the son of Zeus, the god of all gods and Leto, the goddess of motherhood & childbirth ( the daughter of Titan Coeus and Phoebe), the twin brother of Artemis the goddess of the hunt.
Many years passed and god Apollo finally saw Cassandra hard dedication in serving him along with her still ongoing growing beauty and thus decided to give her a gift which became blessing her with his divine power and giving her one of his gifts - the gift of the truth to go with her prophetic gift and thus from then on, her prophetic gifts became clearer and she would always say the truth of what she saw but what Cassandra never expected was that, this divine gift comes at the cost of her engagement with the god who owned this gift before which was his favour to her in order to please her to obtain her love.
So, when she didn't know the reason for this divine gift, she rejected his love and advances causing the god to be enraged thinking he has been betrayed thus the god who failed in his romantic pursuit cursed her with the curse of being unheed nor believed when she prophesies in any form just because he couldn't revoke his divine power blessing he gave to her and thus this led to the tragedy of Troy and the other stories along with her death we usually read in history of mythology.
But, is this really the truth?
