Am I the only one who can't understand how Cassandra could foresee the future - but somehow failed to see that Apollo is about to curse her?!
I mean - WTF?!
The damn god is about to turn her life into living hell, she's more then capable of actually knowing it in advance and do something about it, and she's like "Nah, I'll just go shoppin' for a new tunic"?!
I'm telling you - those subtle inconsistencies make me doubt this whole greek mythology thing...
- adrianN 4y agoMaybe her actions prevented even greater catastrophe.
- yotamoron 4y agoI disagree. She failed - miserably - as mount Olympus' VP of future foreseeing, and that's totally unacceptable. Where's HR in all this? the recruiting manager!? Anyone?? Are those the kind of unrealistically supernatural powers baring individuals we want to have in our company? I don't think so...
- jrumbut 4y agoShe must have read The Aeneid
- NetBeck 4y agoApollo was rejected by a mortal after giving her powers. As a god of prophecy, he should have seen that coming.
- vintermann 4y agoI've seen that point expressed cutely in an old goth metal lyric: If he did grant Wherefore then did He not foresee? Be like egal As if to him Might be? I guess he preferred not to know.
