    Why is there a Kassandra's bust?

    In origins there is a bust of Kassandra.
    Is it a simple riferiment to odyssey or is there another reason?
    Because is strange that there is a bust of a greek female misthios in a roman fortress in Egypt.
    But in a lost tales of greece,Policleto has made a statue of the eagle bearer.
    Was the bust part of this statue?

    I saw the bust, but to be honest, I'm not even sure it's supposed to be a Kassandra easter egg. It doesn't look like her much; I think it looks more like Calpurnia, Caesar's wife.

    Thanks.
    In that picture,Calpurnia wears the same crown of the bust.
    And the bust is next to another bust that could be a Caesar's bust.
    So now I also think that isn't the Kassandra's bust.

    Yeah, I remember seeing a video that pointed out the coincidence, but I don't think it was necessarily intentional.

    I believe this is correct as well. Although I did see posts a while back also talking about this reference in Origins, and it came to the same conclusion. Thanks for sharing this, Sam_Boo26!
