Large Cassandra Statue

Cassandra is a very tasteful fine art nude from Greek mythology. The Greek heroine Cassandra makes an appearance in many plays and poems, and fine art where she is often depicted in her most memorable role as a prophetess. Cassandra received the power to foretell the future from the god Apollo. Apparently, Apollo instructed the mortal woman and taught her about the art of prophecy because he had an ulterior motive - the god wished to win her affections. In one of her prophecies, Cassandra announced the dire consequences of the Trojans accepting the infamous wooden Trojan horse from their Greek opponents. But as Apollo made certain, no one believed Cassandra when she warned her companions about the future. And this, in the end, was to be Cassandra's tragic fate. She is a legacy to the role of the intuitive messenger and her statue is nude, yet tasteful.
