Cassandra’s Revenge
by Ger Agrey-Thatcher
Cassandra was the legendary prophetess of war. She was also its most famous victim. More than any other figure in history and literature, she alone deserved to be avenged for atrocities brought against her by both gods and men.
It was Euripides who gave her the voice that transcends secular and sacred law alike:
“But I, for all my frenzy, will
so far rise above my frantic fit
that I will prove this city happier far
than those Achaeans, who for the sake
of one woman and one passion
have lost a countless army in hunting Helen.”
And so Cassandra’s Revenge becomes retribution with a twist. Helen may have launched a thousand ships, but it is Cassandra who sinks thousands more that would sail to war.
Cassandra’s Revenge challenges the 21st Century’s most cherished myths. It imagines that our reality is only a collective dream. It puts an end to the world as we know it and opens the way to a multitude of new creations.
It agrees with the Christ that we are gods, and our mortal ignorance is only the disguise of an eternal Child at play with endless illusion.
But the fairy tales and fantasies that we tell ourselves are also stories of our own powers that populate our new heavens and earths. It is we who create. We make all things new.
Whatever path you choose, open this book and enter. One story can change your life.
“Inventive, lyrical and inspired, Cassandra’s Revenge is a wild, sexy romp through the classics to the myths of today, weaving legend and vision together into a glowing image of a whole and healed future world.” -- Marilyn Power Scott, Editor
