What became of Cassandra at the end of the Trojan war?

From Wikipedia: At the fall of Troy, [Cassandra] sought shelter in the temple of Athena, where she was violently abducted and raped by Ajax the Lesser. Cassandra was then taken as a concubine by King Agamemnon of Mycenae. Unbeknownst to Agamemnon, while he was away at war, his wife, Clytemnestra, had begun an affair with Aegisthus. Clytemnestra and Aegisthus then murdered both Agamemnon and Cassandra. Some sources mention that Cassandra and Agamemnon had twin boys, Teledamus and Pelops, both of whom were killed by Aegisthus.


How did Cassandra die?

The movie "Troy" removed the role of Cassandra, one of the children of Priam and Hecuba of Troy. Cassandra had been gifted with prophecy, but cursed with the inability to make others believe her prophecies. Agamemnon took her as a war prize and concubine, and returned with her to Greece to his wife Clytemnestra. Clytemnestra was jealous, and still angry with Agamemnon for having killed their daughter Iphigenia at Aulis, so she (or her lover, Aegisthus, Agamemnon's cousin), killed Agamemnon and Cassandra. The son of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon, Orestes, revenged his father's death by killing Clytemnestra.

When she and Agamemnon went into his home, his wife Clytemnestra killed Agamemnon with an axe and then killed Cassandra.

Clymnestra pretended to be happy that he was home and after he took a bath, she gave him a shirt that had no hole for the head and arms to put on. While he was struggling with it, Aegisthus came in with an axe and killed him. Clymnestra is said to also murdered Cassandra because of Jealousy. Many versions also said that Cassandra predicted that this would happen but no one believed her. In some other versions, Clymnestra also killed the twins that Cassandra and Agamemnon supposedly had together.
