Summary
In this episode of Cursed...ish, Angela and Daniel dig into the Curse of Cassandra, the Greek myth of a woman who could literally predict disaster and still got treated like she was being dramatic. From Apollo’s extremely petty curse of a punishment to the Trojan Horse, the fall of Troy, and the brutal aftermath of war, they trace how Cassandra became mythology’s patron saint of I told you so. Along the way, they unpack the tragedy, misogyny, and cultural staying power of her story, plus why the Cassandra archetype still shows up everywhere from horror movies to modern pop culture, including Taylor Swift’s “Cassandra.” Because sometimes the real curse is not just bad luck, it’s being right while everybody around you insists on acting like an idiot.
