Description
The Problem The figure of Cassandra is perhaps the most complex one of the Oresteia trilogy. This is because she seems to be a combination of archetypes: the Virgin Bride, the Sacrificial Virgin, and the Wife. This article analyses these archetypal aspects of Cassandra in the following terms: the links between Cassandra and Iphigenia; Cassandra and her relationship with the god Apollo and Cassandra as Good Wife of Agamemnon in order to determine her function in the Agamemnon.
