When you’re watching Kaos carefully, you will have the entire thing spoiled for you in 5 minutes. And in the event you’re studying this text, you will have the entire thing spoiled for you over again.

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 number of phrases along 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 in the event you take heed to what Cassandra says at this second, she principally spoils the entire present.

“Everybody steals,” she hisses. “Even the gods. Particularly the gods. They’re stealing our souls.”

Downside is, nobody ever listens to Cassandra. It is her complete factor.

The prophet and Trojan princess of Greek mythology is claimed to have been pursued by Apollo, the solar god. He granted Cassandra the present 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 have the ability to warn individuals of what was coming, nobody would imagine her prophecies. “She shrieked and shouted out by all the town,” Homer writes in The Iliad of Cassandra warning the Trojans in regards to the coming sacking of their metropolis. Seems, the Historic 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 would not generate Renewal (reincarnation) as individuals on Earth are instructed 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 your entire collection for Riddy and her newfound fav Caeneus (Misia Butler) to determine it out, Cassandra tried to inform us all alongside. “No one needs to know!” she cries. “Why will not anybody hear?”
