A tragic hero of Greek myth, Bellerophon is best known as the man who tamed the winged horse Pegasus. Together the two slew the nasty monster Chimera and performed other great deeds. Bellerophon's story ended badly: his ego grew so great that he determined to fly up to heaven on Pegasus to join the immortal gods. Pegasus threw his rider (some say after a bite from a gadfly sent by Zeus) and Bellerophon spent the rest of his days wandering Earth, rejected by gods and men.

Cassandra was a Trojan princess/priestess during the Trojan War. She had been cursed by Apollo (for refusing his attentions) that she would see the future accurately but no one would ever believe her.
The curse took as she saw how the war would go, including her family's demise as well as her own death, but could do nothing to prevent any of it.
(Sidenote: I've often thought she was happy to die under those circumstances)
