Contains both Book One and Book Two of the CASSANDRA series. Book One is titled "Cassandra". Book Two is titled. "Cassandra & The Lost City of Troy". Here is an excerpt from the first book: Suddenly, Cassandra's body stiffened. Her fists clenched. Her eyes were opened wide, unblinking. After about ten seconds, her body relaxed and her fists unclenched. "Daddy " she screamed, panic in her voice. Running out of the den, she headed for the back door, out into the yard, and over to where Nikos was standing. "Daddy " she said, breathless. "What's the matter?" "Don't go " "What are you talking about?" "The train " "What about the train?" Nikos asked, staring at Cassandra. "It's going to crash." "How do you know?" "I saw it." From the time that she was a young girl, Cassandra could tell that she was different. It wasn't until she became a teenager that she found out just how different. ....a tale of precognition, destiny, and young love.
Cassandra is scared and alone, and meeting her destiny didn't go as planned. She was innocent; he was mean. Both had no clue they were put in each other's path for a higher calling. Feel the grief of Cassandra's shattered past and be with her as she falls in love with a man she learns, is not whom he seems. She won his heart but not his trust. That would take longer. Turn the pages to unfold the mystery of Cassandra and together, take an amazing trip into space to discover life amongst the stars. CASSANDRA goddess of harmony is action-packed with life, love, adventure, and a joining that tests the senses.
For most of her life, Cassandra Stillwater lived a life of failure, plagued by disappointment and shame at her own inability to "do better." But through the grace of God, for a time, it seemed she had moved beyond all that. Her abusive husband Howard was gone, dying of a heart seizure under the hot Australian sun. Her beloved sister-in-law Bethany Stillwater had forgiven her for her perjured testimony, which had led to Bethany's incarceration in an Australian prison. As well as forgiveness, she had offered Cassandra a home, and a position, at Stillwater Estate where she could safely raise her four sons. Cassandra had gratefully accepted both in order to leave London, and memories of her failed life, behind. Those events, both Bethany's prison term and Howard's death were now distant memories, and Cassandra was looking forward to a successful life from now on.But unfortunately, her newfound luck has run out and she finds herself failing once again. After a two-year drought, the estate funds have run dry, leaving her scrambling to find a way to save the estate from going under. But when the Duke of Yardley, Bethany's father-in-law, gets wind of Cassandra's troubles at the estate-despite her refusal to ask for help or even admit to there being a problem-he sends his nephew, Lord John Dudley, for a visit with instructions to get to the root of the problem as discreetly as possible. Little does the duke know that, back in Australia, Bethany is matchmaking again, just as she recently did successfully with her friends Joe and Joann. But will John's secretive actions put Bethany's plans in jeopardy? And will Cassandra's determination to leave the estate forever mean she is doomed to a loveless single life in London? Perhaps she is destined to be a failure for the rest of her life, and Bethany's plans will come to naught . . .

Cassandra and the Poetics of Prophecy in Greek and Latin Literature
Emily Pillinger
Cambridge University Press
2022
pokkari
This book explores the miscommunications of the prophet Cassandra - cursed to prophesy the truth but never to be understood until too late - in Greek and Latin poetry. Using insights from the field of translation studies, the book focuses on the dialogic interactions that take place between the articulation and the realization of Cassandra's prophecies in five canonical ancient texts, stretching from Aeschylus' to Seneca's Agamemnon. These interactions are dogged by confusion and misunderstanding, but they also show a range of interested parties engaged in creatively 'translating' meaning for themselves from Cassandra's ostensibly nonsensical voice. Moreover, as the figure of Cassandra is translated from one literary work into another, including into the Sibyl of Virgil's Aeneid, her story of tragic communicative disability develops into an optimistic metaphor for literary canon-formation. Cassandra invites us to reconsider the status and value of even the most riddling of female prophets in ancient poetry.
