A one-act verse-play depicting the home-coming of Agamemnon at the end of the Trojan War with all the looted treasure he has managed to pack into his ship, and his special prize, the captive princess Cassandra of Troy. His wife Clytemnestra, the sister of Helen, has a surprise in store for him. Only it is no surprise to Cassandra, for she is Apollo's Woman, the seeress, the famous soothsayer whom no one believes. She knows what is about to happen to Agamemnon, just as she knows what is about to happen to her - and what will eventually happen to Clytemnestra. A dramatic scene out of the distant past as extraordinary people come face to face with death.
