On the last night of Troy the city was wrapped in fire. Cassandra ran to the altar of Athena and threw her arms around the statue. She was the princess cursed to see what was coming and be believed by nobody.
Ajax the Lesser followed her to that altar. Knowing it was a sacred place he did not stop. He dragged Cassandra down and toppled the statue with her.
In a camp drunk on victory there was nobody to stop him. The war was over and people were already thinking only of their ships. Nobody pressed the crime of that night to the end.
