It is quite apparent that these were brilliantly created to be thoughtfully engaging and will have you viualizing the "Women of Troy" wrapped in their blanket/shawls for which the series was created to depict.
Cassandra or Kassandra, was a woman in Greek mythology cursed to utter true prophecies, but never to be believed. In modern usage her name is employed as a rhetorical device to indicate someone whose accurate prophecies are not believed. Cassandra was reputed to be a daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy.
