Quote:Basically what it should say is that Apollo had the hots for Cassandra, she rejected him, and in return he cursed her.
That's exactly what it says.
It says it here:
Quote:The older and most common versions state that she was admired by the god Apollo, who sought to win her with the gift to see the future. According to , she promised him her favors, but after receiving the gift, she went back on her word and refused the god. The enraged Apollo could not revoke a divine power, so he added to it the curse that though she would see the future, nobody would believe her prophecies.
And here:
Quote:Cassandra was given the gift of prophecy, but was also cursed by the god Apollo so that her true prophecies would not be believed. Many versions of the myth relate that she incurred the god's wrath by refusing him sex,
And again:
Quote:Cassandra, daughter of the king and queen, in the temple of Apollo, exhausted from practising, is said to have fallen asleep; whom, when Apollo wished to embrace her, she did not afford the opportunity of her body. On account of which thing, when she prophesied true things, she was not believed.
Did you not read the article before you linked to it?
