  1. Well, Cassandra warned the Trojans.  She was cursed with the ability to tell the future, but no one would believe her.  She wasn't the one who said "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts" that was Loocoan (sp?).

    The most beautiful woman was Helen.


  2. Not a priest but a priestess or a prophetess named Cassandra. She saw the destruction of Troy, the death of Agamemnon and her own fate. However as she was very beautiful, she was cursed by Apollo that no one would believe her and consider her mad.

    Helen to the second question.

  3. Her name was Helen.

  4. Laocoön warned his fellow Trojans against the wooden horse presented to the city by the Greeks. In the Aeneid, Virgil gives Laocoön the famous line Equo ne credite, Teucri / Quidquid id est, timeo Danaos et dona ferentes, or "Do not trust the Horse, Trojans / Whatever it is, I fear the Greeks even bearing gifts." This line is the source of the saying: "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts."

    Helen of Sparta (married to King  Menelaus) who was stolen away by Paris, Prine of Troy.

  5. Laocoon, priest of apollo.

    Helen of sparta.

  6. watch the movie "Troy" with Bradd pitt OR just read the "illiad"

  7. I think it was Helen. Look up the Ruler of rome "Nero" ruthless

  8. Laocoon and Cassandra, Laocoon is the one you want

    Helen

  9. The first part is a trick or you have a teacher who hasnt read the Iliad.

    That line about  fearing the greek bearing gifts comes from the Aeneid!
