- Summary:
- In Lesia Ukrainka's rendering, Cassandra's prophecies are uttered in highly poetic language and are not believed for that reason, rather than because of Apollo's curse. Cassandra as poet and as woman are the focal points of the drama. The strongly autobiographical Cassandra: A Dramatic Poem is presented here in a sophisticated English translation.
