Editing Cassandra (section)

====The aftermath of Troy and Cassandra's death====
Once Troy had fallen, Cassandra was taken as a ''[[pallake]]'' (concubine) by [[King Agamemnon]] of [[Mycenae]].  While he was away at war, Agamemnon's wife, [[Clytemnestra]], had taken [[Aegisthus]] as her lover.  Cassandra and Agamemnon were later killed by either Clytemnestra or Aegisthus.  Various sources state that Cassandra and Agamemnon had twin boys, Teledamus and Pelops, who were murdered by Aegisthus.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Pausanias, Description of Greece, Corinth, chapter 16, section 6|url=http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.01.0160:book=2:chapter=16:section=6|access-date=2021-11-28|website=www.perseus.tufts.edu|archive-date=2021-11-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211128052148/http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.01.0160:book=2:chapter=16:section=6|url-status=live}}</ref>

The final resting place of Cassandra is either in [[Amyclae]] or [[Mycenae]].  Statues of Cassandra exist both in Amyclae and across the [[Peloponnese]] peninsula from Mycenae to [[Leuctra]]. In Mycenae, German business man and pioneer archeologist [[Heinrich Schliemann]] discovered in [[Grave Circle A, Mycenae|Grave Circle A]] the graves of Cassandra and Agamemnon and telegraphed back to King [[George I of Greece]]:<blockquote>''With great joy I announce to Your Majesty that I have discovered the tombs which the tradition proclaimed by Pausanias indicates to be the graves of Agamemnon, Cassandra, Eurymedon and their companions, all slain at a banquet by Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthos.''</blockquote>However, it was later discovered that the graves predated the Trojan War by at least 300 years.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Harrington|first=Spencer P.M.|date=July–August 1999|title=Behind the Mask of Agamemnon|url=https://archive.archaeology.org/9907/etc/mask.html|journal=Archaeological Institute of America|volume=52|archive-date=2013-03-17|access-date=2021-12-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130317095640/http://archive.archaeology.org/9907/etc/mask.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
