More trojan princesses! Polyxena is here
Illione: eldest daughter of Priam and Hecuba. She and her husband, Polymestor, were entrusted by her parents to the care of the young prince, Polydorus. Ilione, who already had a son of her own, Deipylus, brought her brother up as her son, and her son as her brother, thinking that if anything happened to one of them, she could return the other one to her parents in any case. So when Polymestor was instigated by the Greeks to kill the son of Priam, he killed Deipylus instead, his own son, taking him for Polydorus. The real Polydorus thus survived and escaped.
Creusa: wife of Aeneas of Dardania. As they were fleeing Troy during its fall she was left behind , but when Aeneas went back to find her he met the shade, or ghost, of Creusa, who told him that it was her fate to remain in Troy. Aeneas tried three times to hold her, each time failing to grasp her shade T T. I hc her as very serious and responsible as one of the older sisters
Laodice: was said to be the most beautiful of Priam's daughters. Before the outbreak of the Trojan War, Laodice fell in love with Acamas, son of Theseus, who had come to Troy to try to recover Helen through diplomatic means. She became pregnant and bore him the son Munitus. According to the Bibliotheca and several other sources, in the night of the fall of Troy, Laodice feared she might become one of the captive women and prayed to the gods. She was swallowed up in a chasm that opened on the earth. Hc time: very spontaneous and emotional, willingly sleeping with the enemy but refusing to be enslaved to one:,)
Cassandra: drawn her before here. Cursed by Apollo to utter true prophecies but to never be believed. I like the idea that her priesthood being so important to her was her undoing. As in she didn't really think it through before agreeing to give Apollo everything he asked for in exchange for the gift of foreseeing bc she wanted to be chosen as his prophet BUTT when she had to do her part of the deal she refused because she wanted to remain a virgin priestess !!!
