After screaming, [Cassandra] calls out the name of Apollo sixth times, then again a seventh time; but the seventh time, by shifting the inflexion of the name slightly, she shows its etymology. Apollo's name is cognate with the Greek verb apollesthai, "to destroy utterly, kill, slay, demolish, lay waste." By crying out "Apollon emos," Cassandra can designate the god as "my Apollo" and "my destroyer" at the same time in the same words.
