In case you’re watching Kaos carefully, you may have the entire thing spoiled for you in 5 minutes. And if you happen to’re studying this text, you may have the entire thing spoiled for you once more.
Within the first episode of Charlie Covell’s Netflix collection in regards to the Greek myths, Eurydice (Aurora Perrineau) meets Cassandra (Billie Piper) at a grocery store, exchanging a couple of phrases together with her within the cereal aisle. Moments later outdoors, Riddy sees Cassandra being apprehended by a safety guard for shoplifting, a state of affairs Riddy deescalates by paying for Cassandra’s stolen cat meals. However if you happen to take heed to what Cassandra says at this second, she mainly spoils the entire present.
“Everyone steals,” she hisses. “Even the gods. Especially the gods. They’re stealing our souls.”
Downside is, nobody ever listens to Cassandra. It is her complete factor.
Mashable High Tales
The prophet and Trojan princess of Greek mythology is alleged to have been pursued by Apollo, the solar god. He granted Cassandra the reward of prophecy, however when she did not wish to go on a date with him (ugh, entitled males), he added a cursed proviso to her expertise. Although Cassandra would be capable to warn individuals of what was coming, nobody would imagine her prophecies. “She shrieked and shouted out through all the city,” Homer writes in The Iliad of Cassandra warning the Trojans in regards to the coming sacking of their metropolis. Seems, the Historical Greeks already knew the agony of girls not being believed.
On this second in Kaos, when Cassandra tells Eurydice the gods are stealing human souls, it is completely correct, because the collection reveals later. Hades’ all-important Body within the Underworld does not generate Renewal (reincarnation) as individuals on Earth are informed it does; as an alternative, their souls are sucked up into Olympus’ water provide, to be drunk by the grasping gods for his or her restorative powers.
And although it takes the complete collection for Riddy and her newfound fav Caeneus (Misia Butler) to determine it out, Cassandra tried to inform us all alongside. “Nobody wants to know!” she cries. “Why won’t anyone listen?”
