[D66] 'Cassandre'

[René Oudeweg]

Droevig stukje in F mineur. Ik ga op deze lijst natuurlijk als het even 
kan geen opgewekte en vrolijke majeure stukjes meer posten., laat staan 
muziek voor dansmariekes... Na Hiroshima is er geen vrolijke muziek meer 
mogelijk om Adorno te parafraseren...

Cassandra
Cassandra or Kassandra (; Ancient Greek: Κασσάνδρα, pronounced 
[kas:ándra], also Κασάνδρα, and sometimes referred to as Alexandra) in 
Greek mythology was a Trojan priestess dedicated to the god Apollo and 
fated by him to utter true prophecies but never to be believed. In 
modern usage her name is employed as a rhetorical device to indicate a 
person whose accurate prophecies, generally of impending disaster, are 
not believed.
Cassandra was a daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy. Her 
elder brother was Hector, the hero of the Greek-Trojan war. The older 
and most common versions of the myth state that she was admired by the 
god Apollo, who sought to win her love by means of the gift of seeing 
the future. According to Aeschylus, she promised him her favours, but 
after receiving the gift, she went back on her word. As the enraged 
Apollo could not revoke a divine power, he added to it the curse that 
nobody would believe her prophecies. In other sources, such as Hyginus 
and Pseudo-Apollodorus, Cassandra broke no promise to Apollo but rather 
the power of foresight was given to her as an enticement to enter into a 
romantic engagement, the curse being added only when it failed to 
produce the result desired by the god.
Later versions on the contrary describe her falling asleep in a temple, 
where snakes licked (or whispered into) her ears which enabled her to 
hear the future.
