Cassandra, daughter of Priam and Hecuba, was granted the gift of prophecy, but also cursed never to be believed. She announced the destruction of Troy, but the Trojans mocked her. Now, after ten years of war, the city has fallen to the Greeks and Cassandra lives as a prisoner, chained at the gates of Agamemnon's Mycenae. Through childhood memories and reflections on the years of conflict, Cassandra reconstructs the fall of her city. Drawing on this myth, author Christa Wolf traces a compelling analogy between the events narrated in the Iliad and the tense period of the Cold War.
