Cassandra of Troy

Cassandra is the daughter of the Trojan king Priam and Queen Hecuba. Sister of Helenus, Paris, and Hector. We know she was the priestess of Apollo and she took a sacred vow of chastity to remain a virgin for life. The god Apollo cursed her with a gift of prophecy which always was accurate but no one would ever believe it or remember it after. This curse turned out to be an example of almost perfect cruelty.

Ishtar, Queen of Heaven and Earth

The Mesopotamian goddess, Ishtar (Inanna) is the oldest female deity about whom written evidence exists. Ancient people worshipped her as the goddess of love and sexuality, fertility, war and warfare, prophecy, and justice. At the same time, she was the personification of Planet Venus, The Morning and Evening Star. As such, we know now that she affected other, later religions and we know her now in many different forms.
