They have to bring you bad news and be Cassandras against the senior management, against the fear of management of repercussions. Cassandra and her sons returned to Agamemnon’s kingdom after the Trojan war but were met by an ill fate. Agamemnon’s wife and her lover murdered both Cassandra and Agamemnon, along with their children. In Survivor, the aptly-named Sandra Diaz-Twine played this role in both of her seasons. In Pearl Islands, she didn't buy Jonny Fairplay's "dead grandma" lie for a second but everyone else believed it. It went even further in Heroes vs. Villains where she tried multiple times to tell the Heroes that Russell was untrustworthy and that they needed to vote him out but they just wouldn't listen to her. In fact, they tried to vote her out. However, this trope ultimately helped her win both times. After all, if you were the only one who saw through the villain's manipulation, doesn't that mean you played the best game?

Silver in Prison Island Break. Nobody really believes he knows the future, and he hates being able to see it as it does him little good.

TOTALITARIAN POWER GRAB

In Virgil's work, Cassandra appears in book two of his epic poem titled Aeneid, with her powers of prophecy restored. In Book 2 of the Aeneid, unlike Homer, Virgil presents Cassandra as having fallen into a mantic state [14] and her prophecies reflect it. The Bolt Chronicles: Penny's mom gives her daughter advice on two occasions in "The Cameo," which the girl ignores to her detriment. She finds this advice irritating but usually right in the end: Cassandra foresaw the destruction of Troy by the Greeks; when the Trojans found the big wooden horse outside the gates of their city Cassandra told them that Greeks will destroy them if they bring the horse in the city. The historical facts are not clear but the famous phrase “Beware of Danaos (Greeks) bearing gifts” belongs to her, although there are also different versions about this phrase as well, since it was stated by different persons in tragedy “Ajax” and Virgil’s “Aeneid”. No one in Troy believed her, and the horse was admitted in the city, with the known results for Troy.

Incidentally, in Euripides’ The Trojan Women, Cassandra is referred to by her mother Hecuba as “Phoebus’ virgin-priestess”, indicating that she was a priestess in the service of Apollo, and that she may have taken a sacred vow of chastity. This allows Cassandra’s rejection of Apollo’s advances to be viewed from a different perspective. In any case, despite the curse, it seems that it was possible for Cassandra to teach her prophetic skills to others. In one version of the myth, Cassandra is said to have taught her twin brother Helenus how to prophesy. Quetza, in the Argentinian novel El Conquistador, is an embodiment of this trope. Despite him travelling all over the world, researching the origins of the Aztec people and seeing the close menace of the Spanish Empire, no one believes him. Cassandra was the daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba, lords of Troy, in Greek mythology. She was also known as Alexandra.

IN THE WAR ON TRUTH, IT’S TIME TO BECOME HEROES

The most important event of Cassandra’s life was the encounter with the god Apollo. Although there are several versions of Cassandra’s stories, all of them have some connection with God Apollo.Cassandra became a priestess in Apollo’s temple and vowed a life of purity, divinity, and virginity.
