Using insights from the field of translation studies, the book focuses on the dialogic interactions that take place between the articulation and the realization of Cassandra's prophecies in five canonical ancient texts, stretching from Aeschylus' to Seneca's Agamemnon. These interactions are dogged by confusion and misunderstanding, but they also show a range of interested parties engaged in creatively 'translating' meaning for themselves from Cassandra's ostensibly nonsensical voice. Moreover, as the figure of Cassandra is translated from one literary work into another, including into the Sibyl of Virgil's Aeneid, her story of tragic communicative disability develops into an optimistic metaphor for literary canon-formation. Cassandra invites us to reconsider the status and value of even the most riddling of female prophets in ancient poetry. 600 00 $a Cassandra $c (Legendary character) $x In literature. 600 07 $a Cassandra $c (Legendary character) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00848303 650 0 $a Prophecy in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94008375 650 0 $a Classical literature $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008100686 650 7 $a Classical literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00863509 650 7 $a Literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999953 650 7 $a Prophecy in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01079210 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211022140.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F2CCDB0E0C2C11EAA2E5F95597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
