Who was Cassandra's lover?

AI Overview Cassandra, the Trojan princess gifted with prophecy, had two main figures associated with her as "lovers": the god Apollo, who cursed her when she rejected him, and the Greek king Agamemnon, who took her as a concubine after the fall of Troy, with whom she had twin sons. Another suitor, Coroebus, died defending her during the sack of Troy, as he was in love with her. Apollo's Connection The Gift & Curse: Apollo fell for Cassandra and gave her the gift of prophecy (or amplified it) in exchange for her love, but when she wouldn't reciprocate, he cursed her so no one would believe her true warnings. Broken Promise: In some accounts, she promised him favors but reneged, while in others, she was a devout priestess who rejected his advances, leading to his anger. Agamemnon's Connection Spoils of War: After Troy's fall, Agamemnon, the Greek commander, took Cassandra as his war prize and concubine. Children: She bore Agamemnon twin sons, Pelops and Teledamus, before being murdered by Agamemnon's wife, Clytemnestra, and her lover. Coroebus's Love Trojan Defender: Coroebus, a Phrygian prince, loved Cassandra and fought to protect her, even attempting to defend her from rape by Ajax the Lesser before being killed.
