This may be the wrong place for this discussion ..

But I am thoroughly intrigued about breaking Cassandra's Curse. Those not familiar with the mythos - read below. But how could this curse be broken? Suffice to say I have a personal interest in being understood - and I think my relationship to this curse is irritatingly strong. Ideas?

Cassandra was the daughter of King Priam, ruler of Troy during the Trojan War. Legend has it she was a beautiful woman with long, flowing hair who caught the eye of the handsome god Apollo. His lust aroused, Apollo appeared to her and promised to bestow upon her the gift of prophecy in return for her sexual favours.

Cassandra cleverly agreed to his offer but, upon receiving the gift of prophecy, reneged on the agreement and refused to let Apollo have his way with her. Outraged, Apollo sought retribution. He begged Cassandra for one last kiss to which she agreed. Then, when his lips closed on hers, Apollo spat into her mouth so releasing a curse.

Cassandra’s curse was that her gift of prophecy allowed her to see into the future and predict events that were yet to happen…however, although she always prophesied the truth, she was never to be believed or listened to. Her punishment and torment was to be ridiculed, ignored and dismissed as being a raving lunatic.
