Question about Pergamos
Posted by sophie on 19 Mar 2015 in Activity log
In Il bk24.699 Cassandra is described standing on Pergamos but it is definitely something in the city. I found a translation that calls it Pergamos' Tower? Should this be a new place?
Butler line "No one neither man nor woman saw them,till Cassandra, fair as golden Aphrodite standing on Pergamos, caught sight of her dear father in his chariot, and his servant that was the city's herald with him"
