Cassandra

Synopsis :
A Matriarch and Click-Speaker .
A very smart woman .

Discussion :
Renowned for unalterable prophecies .
These were reserved for her enemies .

Friends got more favourable prognoses .
She was a Click-speaker (see old sources about her hearing snakes)
Click speakers can hear snake jawbones clicking very clearly .
In any case , a Matriarch (a rather junior one at the time)
But with an IQ in our terms of about 220 .
A smart cookie .

Why Clytemnestra had to kill Agamemnon so quickly .
He went in with a veteran security detachment , they were ambushed , netted and slaughtered . The bathtub story was spin .
He had to be killed before he found about the Glai betrayal. Dynastic screwing around was expected , but serious betrayals were a no-no .

All accounts agree that Cassandra watched Agamemnon bounce up the stairs to his doom . She tootled off to the shores of the Black Sea and lived a long and productive life , sticking her nose into affairs that did not concern her .

But they all do that .
