Sean "Diddy" Combs, the music mogul with an empire of his own, and Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, the captivating singer with a magnetic charm, found themselves drawn to each other. Their connection was undeniable, a fusion of power, beauty, and undeniable chemistry.
According to Aeschylus's tragedy Agamemnon, Cassandra was loved by the god Apollo, who promised her the power of prophecy if she would comply with his desires. Cassandra accepted the proposal, received the gift, and then refused the god her favours.
Who is the husband of Cassandra in Greek mythology?
During the legendary Trojan War, she foresaw the Greek strategy of the Trojan horse, but her warnings were scorned. Cassandra later married the Greek hero Agamemnon and had visions of trouble for both of them. Her husband paid no heed and the two of them were murdered by Clytemnestra, Agamemnon's first wife.
Many versions of the myth relate that she incurred the god's wrath by refusing him sexual favours after promising herself to him in exchange for the power of prophecy. In Aeschylus' Agamemnon, she bemoans her relationship with Apollo: Apollo, Apollo!
Helenus, in Greek legend, son of King Priam of Troy and his wife Hecuba, brother of Hector, and twin brother of the prophetess Cassandra. According to Homer he was a seer and warrior.
The sharp, gold-tipped arrow pierced the heart of Apollo inflaming his love for Daphne, a beautiful nymph, daughter of the river god Peneus, while the blunt, lead-tipped arrow struck the nymph creating an intense aversion for love in the her heart.
For obvious reasons she turned down Apollo. A relationship with a Greek god pretty much guarantees sex. Of course, the great irony of it all is that Cassandra was a priestess of Apollo. Her spurning of the god led to her being cursed to never be believed again when delivering a prophecy.
Cassandra accepted Apollo as a teacher, but not as a lover. Naturally, the god was insulted by this refusal. So he punished Cassandra. Apollo caused the gift that he gave Cassandra to be twisted, making everyone who heard her true and accurate foretellings of future events believe that they were instead hearing lies.
After getting kicked out of The Seven, The Deep (Chace Crawford) joined a cult known as the Church of the Collective. He was forced to marry a woman of the church's choosing — an anthropologist named Cassandra Schwartz (who he doesn't even like) — in order to rehabilitate his image and get him back into The Seven.
Clytemnestra (wielding the axe) kills Cassandra on the inside of this drinking cup. To the left of Clytemnestra is Apollo's tripod, and to the right of Cassandra is his altar with a laurel tree. Cassandra was a priestess of Apollo at Troy.
Apollo had around 60 lovers known to us, with 10 being immortal. For a some reason, I see so many people making jokes about all Apollos lovers having gruesome ends, but its really the minority that didn't thrive after/during their interactions with Apollo.
One day Apollo saw Coronis and became enamoured of her. He lay with her in her home, and consequently she became pregnant. One time when Apollo was away performing his godly duties, Coronis fell in love with Ischys, son of Elatus.
Having fallen head over heels for the mortal man Hyacinthus, the god Apollo gives up his shrine at Delphi, his famous lyre, and his bow and arrow, to spend all his time with his new love. On one tragic day, while the couple is having a friendly competition of discus throwing, Apollo makes a throw that cuts the clouds.
One day, as the two lovers were having a discus-throwing competition, Apollo hurled it with such strength that it parted the clouds. Hyacinth ran to catch it, but the discus hit the ground, bounced back up, and struck him in the head, fatally wounding him.
Angered by the insult, Cupid shot him with a golden love arrow causing Apollo to fall in love with the first person he saw. Cupid then shot Daphne with a lead-tipped arrow causing her to be impervious to love. At that moment, Apollo caught sight of Daphne, who was out hunting, and fell in love.
At some point, Apollo fell in love with the handsome mortal man Hyacinthus. One day, Zephyros, the god of the west wind, who was also smitten by Hyacinthus, came across him and Apollo playing a game of quoits.
The most celebrated of his loves were the nymph Daphne, princess Koronis (Coronis), huntress Kyrene (Cyrene) and youth Hyakinthos (Hyacinthus). The stories of Apollo's lovers Daphne and Kyrene can be found on their own separate pages--see the Apollo pages sidebar.
So says Homer in the Iliad. Throughout antiquity, there was a fascination with the tale of how Zeus, king of the gods, fell in love with a human boy. The scene of Zeus swooping down from Olympus to steal away Ganymede, known as 'The Rape of Ganymede', appeared on pottery, frescoes, statues and mosaics.
Cassandra is one of the daughters of King Priam of Troy. A priestess, she dedicates her life to the god Apollo, who, in the oldest and commonest versions of the myth, falls in love with her. To win her love, he endows her with the gift of foretelling the future.
Of Aphrodite's mortal lovers, the most important were the Trojan shepherd Anchises, by whom she became the mother of Aeneas, and the handsome youth Adonis (in origin a Semitic nature deity and the consort of Ishtar-Astarte), who was killed by a boar while hunting and was lamented by women at the festival of Adonia.
Although Apollo had many love affairs, they were mostly unfortunate: Daphne, in her efforts to escape him, was changed into a laurel, his sacred shrub; Coronis (mother of Asclepius) was shot by Apollo's twin, Artemis, when Coronis proved unfaithful; and Cassandra (daughter of King Priam of Troy) rejected his advances ...
