• Create a parody of Facebook or Twitter for Cassandra and a few other (3-4) mythological figures with whom she interacted. Explain why you chose these specific characters, and write the internet interaction that would occur between Cassandra and others, keeping true to the original myth(s).

  • Identify a classic myth in which Cassandra does not appear, and write her into a specific scene. Why do you choose this scene in particular? What is the content of her vision, if she has one at all? Who is there to hear it? How would her presence change the ending of the story?

  • Cassandra’s curse prevented her from being believed by others, no matter if her predictions came true or not. How can you rationalize the continued disbelief by those who encounter her? Analyze the characters who heard her various predictions and why they would still disregard Cassandra after her visions came to pass. Is there logic behind their skepticism, or just divine influence?

  • Martha Mitchell was one of the first people who reported the Watergate scandal, due to her former husband's involvement, though her accusation were not taken seriously at a time. Find another historical figure who fell into this Cassandra/Martha like situation. How does the Cassandra myth influence society's perspective on this character, or on “whistleblowers” in general?
