cassandra?(spoiler if you havent read Troy:Fall of Kings)

[dantheman123123]

In the Lion Of Macedon, is the Cassandra that Tamis summons in the fire the same Cassandra who dies at the end of the Troy trilogy?

I have absolutly no idea if its the same person, but i wouldn't be supprised, there's lots of characters jumping around in DG's books.
Why do you think they may be the same people?
Wasn't cass in Lom summoned in fire and did cass in Troy die in fire(lava) if so they may be same, or am i thinking of someone else?

 

[dantheman123123]

im sure it said in Lion of Macedon that the Cassandra summoned at the fire was a priestess murdered from Troy. Im not sure if it was the same one though and in both books the character Cassandra is a seer.

yes they are the same. its an actual greek myth the cassandra story dg just tied it in with parmenion

Cassandra is a major prophetic figure in Greek Mythology:

It would be interesting to see whether Gemmell used the same characterisation for the character in the two different series, though.
