They say if she made a prophecy Nobody would believe her

I’ve gotta say, that is exactly the kind of stupid thing that probably would circumvent a curse.

Cassandra: YOU ARE ALL GOING TO REGRET THIS SO MUCH YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW. 

Odysseus: Regret it why?

Cassandra: You won’t believe me if I tell you. If I prophecy, nobody believes me. That is my curse.

Odysseus: … I’m Nobody. Fill me in. 

*A couple of months later* 

Odysseus: HELLO PENELOPE, I AM HERE PRECISELY ON TIME AND NOT YEARS LATE incidentally I rescued and adopted a Trojan seer while I was away, she’s great, got me home really fast, Cassandra this is your new mother who’s not going to treat you like shit. 

Penelope: … I’m going to need more details, but okay, sure. 

Cassandra: *in tears* I love you, new family. 

But didn’t he only call himself Nobody to the Cyclops on the journey home? You’d have a causality paradox.

If Odysseus was smart enough to call himself ‘Nobody’ to fool Polyphemus, he’s smart enough to come up with it in the face of a seer lamenting the fact that she’s cursed to have ‘nobody’ believe her. 

ODYSSEUS WAS VERY SMART AND THIS IS THE HILL I WILL DIE ON.
