Being a Seer is also depicted as being a curse as well as a blessing. The Oracle of Delphi would be a blessing, Cassandra of mythology a curse. Given the way this type of soothsaying works, that is, picking up pieces of potential futures with no clear answers, it could be assumed that this was a curse by a god, thus explaining why the Seers eyes were sewn shut and her hands were mutilated with eyes. Remember, "god" isn't the same as "God", the Christian diety. Not all gods from mythology were kind, and the Greek-Roman pantheon in particular, which we know exist in some capacity in that world, were known to be particularly petty and vengeful.
