OK, Which Trojan Era woman are you?

[kath]

Helen -- The face that launched a thousand ships. Helen was abducted by Theseus when she was twelve, and was later married to Menelaus of Sparta. Her suitors all signed the Oath of Tyndareus, promising that they would honor and protect whomever she chose as husband. She ran off with Paris of Troy, to whom Aphrodite had promised the most beautiful woman in the world. Abiding by the Oath, her former suitors waged war on Troy for Menelaus sake. When Paris was killed during the war, Helen married his brother Deiphobus. Menelaus returned Helen to Sparta after the war. Orestes tried to kill her, but Apollo saved her and took her to the mansion of Zeus.

The first time I did it, I was "Internal Server Error." I'm pretty sure she wasn't a Trojan era woman though.



Cassandra -- Second only to Helen in beauty. A prophetess who spurned Apollo. The god then cursed her never to be believed in her foretellings. She predicted that Paris and Helen would be the downfall of Troy, and that the horse brought by the Achaeans spelled doom. Coroebus, Prince of Phrygia, lent Troy his aid out of love for Cassandra. During the Sack, she was raped by Ajax, son of Oileus, in the Temple to Athena. When Coroebus tried to defend her, he was slain by Neoptolemus. Cassandra was then given to Agamemnon as a concubine. She bore him twins, but upon arriving in Mycenae, she was killed by Clytemnestra, the jealous wife of Agamemnon. Aegisthus, her lover, slaughtered the babes.

Maybe now is a good time to propose the Kath, bebe, Indie crazy, dangerous chicks club. I think we now have proof that we are indeed the women to lead it.

Andromache -- The beloved wife of Hector. She was not considered pretty, but Hector loved her anyway. She hated Helen, considering her to blame for the war. Andromache begged Hector not to fight several times, rightfully afraid he would leave her widowed. His greatest fear was seeing her enslaved by the Achaeans. After his death, Andromache fell into despair, taking what comfort she could in her only son, Astyanax. During the Fall of Troy, Neoptolemus threw Astyanax from the high wall, and then took Andromache as his concubine. His wife, Hermione, sought to murder the rival. Menelaus too conspired against her, and she was saved only by the father of Achilles. Neoptolemus was killed by Orestes, and Andromache then married Hectors brother Helenus.
