What is cassandra b.c.?

Cassandra is a name of Greek origin meaning "unheeded prophetess". B.C. stands for Before Christ, so there is no direct information about the historical figure, Cassandra, who lived in ancient Greece. However, there are references to her in Greek mythology and literature. She was daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy, and was blessed by the god Apollo with the gift of prophecy.

However, after rejecting Apollo's romantic advances, he cursed her so that no one would believe her prophecies. Despite this, Cassandra foresaw the fall of Troy and warned her family and fellow citizens, but was ignored. She was eventually taken as a slave when the city was sacked and burned by the Greeks.

Cassandra has become a legendary figure, associated with warnings that are not heeded, and her story has been retold in various works of art, literature, and film. In modern times, the name Cassandra is often used as a reference to someone who predicts future events that are not taken seriously.
