Cassandra

In Homer's epic poem ‘The Iliad’, Cassandra, the Trojan prophetess, foresaw the destruction of Troy. She warned the Trojans about the Greeks hiding inside the Trojan Horse, Agamemnon's death, her own demise at the hands of Aegisthus and Clytemnestra, Hecuba's fate (her Mother), Odysseus's ten-year wanderings before returning to his home, and the murder of Aegisthus and Clytemnestra by the latter's children Electra and Orestes. Cassandra is a tragic figure of literature for her warnings were all disregarded.
