Encyclopedic overview
Hecuba comforts Cassandra, the male figure at the far right is apparently Helenus, interpreting the same omen as Cassandra.
In Greek mythology, Helenus (/ˈhɛlənəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἕλενος, romanized: Hélenos) was a gentle and clever seer. He was also a Trojan prince as the son of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy, and the twin brother of the prophetess Cassandra.
