nuricurry:CHARACTERS OF “THE ILIAD”: //Cassandra & Helenus//→ Twin Seers— "O humans, o human things—when a man is happy, a shadow could overturn it." —How many countless things had Cassandra and Helenus shared in their lives? Grown in the same womb, born together, they had begun with the other at their side. They had even shown the same ability for foresight, the god granting it to both of them. However, like many things, time changed them, time turned them down separate paths. She had always been stronger with her gift, yet with power came instability, whereas for him, he wisely learned when to speak, when to voice those visions given to him by the god. They were two sides of the same coin, each facing different directions, one towards destruction, and one towards glory. kashuan // nuricurry -- source link
