# 3 3 O: KASSANDRA

Zeus fathers Helen as a swan
no rebirth: humans leaving
non-human wombs

humans having non-human
divine or bestial wounds
Helen a microcosm of guaranteed ruin

Argive men the vital fluid
of the horse: transmitted
to the womb of Troy

when she leaves the egg:
first of two births
incubates in Troy and is reborn

as a Greek

thus
Trojan culture is aborted
