Cassandra Priami et Hecubae filia in Apollinis fano ludendo lassa obdormisse dicitur; quam Apollo cum vellet comprimere, corporis copiam non fecit. Ob quam rem Apollo fecit, ut, cum vera vaticinaretur, fidem non haberet.

It is said that Cassandra the daughter of Priam and Hecuba, tired by playing, fell fast asleep in the temple of Apollo. When Apollo wanted embrace her, she would not allow him to possess her body. For this reason Apollo decreed that whenever she prophesied truly, she would not be believed.
