La Cassandre est une longue pr diction des malheurs r serv s la cit de Troie et aux Grecs venus l'assi ger apr s l'enl vement d'H l ne par le fr re de Cassandre (P ris Alexandre), qui se dirige vers Sparte au moment o elle prof re ses sinistres proph ties, comme l'explique le messager venu les rapporter Priam et dont la r citation mot pour mot du dit d'Alexandra son ma tre constitue le corps du po me. Cette litanie rapport e est crite dans un style oraculaire, nigmatique et difficile (vocabulaire, syntaxe, r f rences mythologiques, nigmes, anagrammes, assonances, allit rations, allusions d'autres artifices tels que les palindromes et la tradition du boustroph don...) par un Lycophron videmment au fait de tous ces v nements alors venir . Il laisse donc, comme le messager du po me, la parole une Cassandre qui m rite ici plus qu'ailleurs, selon certains auteurs modernes, son nom d' Alexandra, celle qui porte malheur aux hommes et auxquels elle fait rempart en condamnant leurs folies meurtri res.
