I feel so lonely in my love for Cassandra. It’s my favourite track off TTPD. Please, fellow Cassandra stans, rise with me.

I'm not a full Swiftie, but a friend told to check out Taylor's newest album "The Tortured Poets Department" and as a Greek Mythology nerd I can't help but notice the reference to Cassandra.

Basically Cassandra is a princess that Apollo favoured somewhat but when Apollo denied her, he cursed her with the gift of prophecy but so that nobody would ever blieve her phrophecies.

I think this is the thing where Cassandra phrophecised about the fall of Troy but nobody believed her. --> Many Swifties had already came to this conclusion idk i don't take credit for it

Then we have this line. Where they "killed her with snakes". But that's not how Cassandra was killed... -_-

BUT, WHAT DOES SNAKES HAVE TO DO IN MYTHOLOGY? The most common answer is either Medusa or Hermes.

Hermes is associated with the snake in Greek Mythology due to his staff. Hermes, however, is also the god of thieves, which could be a reference to that Scooter Braun guy or smt.

However, snakes could also be a symbol of wisdom, rebirth and renewal --> a start of a new era? But Idk since they don't symbolise that In greek mythology.

”Cassandra” just really clicked for me and uh. how did I not realize before how good that song is.

I have not seen anyone else talk about this and it's killing me. She says "so they filled my cell snakes" which I can only interpret as a reference to Laocoon, who was another Trojan who saw the future and had no one believe him and when the Trojan horse was pulled in he attempted to stop it only for him and his sons to be strangled by snakes Athena sent (which I could also tie into the Christianity that she mentions especially because the entire war was started over an apple which also translates to manus in Latin but because of this myth the Roman's have the same translation for evil.) Then she says in my tower weaving nightmares, which I can only assume is a reference to Penelope, Odysseus' wife, who refused to take on a new suitor until she was done with her loom, but every night she'd unravel it and start over because she was still waiting for Odysseus to get back.

«When the first stone's thrown, there's screaming

In the streets, there's a raging riot

When it's "Burn the b**tch", they're shrieking

When the truth comes out, it's quiet.»

"Cassandra" - Taylor Swift.

Cassandra is mad woman’s sister btw

[purpledancingpolarbear]

Cassandra feels so much like what we would've gotten if Taylor wrote a song for the new hunger games movie and I would've been so here for it.

"so they filled my cell with snakes I regret to say, do you believe me now?" Like you can't convince me that's not hunger games coded

you say they killed cassandra first

that they feared the worst

but i changed my mind

they didnt break no locks

she stared at the clock

and watched them walk in

the fates they cursed her

she knew all yet no one could believe

and so they killed cassandra first

not for they feared the worst

but for she let them

to be cured from eternity

-k.c.

I fully intend to make a much longer edit with Barry to this song because there are FAR too many instances that fit.

But for now I present this that took far too long to make
