Dig into the Greek tragedy of Cassandra, who received the gift of prophecy but was cursed by Apollo to never be believed.
--
As a young woman, Cassandra of Troy had been pursued by the god Apollo, who offered her the gift of prophecy. But when she withdrew from his advances, he twisted his gift into a maddening hex: from that day on, Cassandra would be able to precisely see and describe the future— but her prophecies would never be believed. Iseult Gillespie details the Greek tragedy of the cursed seer.
