annorasponderings: But, ah! what use of valor can be made, When heav’n’s propitious pow’rs refuse their aid! Behold the royal prophetess, the fair Cassandra, dragg’d by her dishevel’d hair, Whom not Minerva’s shrine, nor sacred bands, In safety could protect from sacrilegious hands: On heav’n she cast her eyes, she sigh’d, she cried- ‘T was all she could- her tender arms were tied. So sad a sight Coroebus could not bear; But, fir’d with rage, distracted with despair, Amid the barb’rous ravishers he flew: Our leader’s rash example we pursue.  - Virgil’s Aeneid, Book II (Image: ‘Ajax and Cassandra’ by Solomon Joseph Solomon)
