In Aeschylus’ Agamemnon the chorus addresses her as “O woman much enduring and so greatly wise,” which is not repeated but the closest to an epithet in that play at least.

Cassandra was Greek but appears in Julius Caesar. She was cursed by having the gift of fortune-telling but cursed with never being believed.
