Prophecies which are justified by events, but which no one believes when uttered. The story was that Phoebus Apollo sought to win the love of Cassandra, daughter of Priam, and gave her the gift of prophecy, but, when she resisted him, laid on her the doom that her predictions should be always verified, but never credited. See Judgment of Paris.
