Greek Myth LIII: Pseudo-Apollodorus’s Bibliotheca Book III, Chapter XII – Dardanus, Ilus, Priam, Aeacus, Telamon, or a Brief History of Troy

I swear this chapter really is about more than Cassandra.

Discussion Prompts

  1. Were Trojans really that pretty? (see Ganymede, Tithonus, Paris…)
  2. Pelops is still causing trouble. Discuss.
  3. Which character do you wish was covered in more detail in this story? Why?
  4. What do you think of Cassandra?

And just because, I’ll also leave this here:

Did I mention that I love Cassandra?

I have a BA in History and Classical Civilization from Loyola University Chicago and an MPH from Western Michigan University. I've been a geometry teacher, a religion teacher, a writing tutor. I'm a writer, a knitter, a dancer, a singer, an actor. And, yes, for fun I like to reread everything that was assigned while getting my classics degree.
