Ah yes the story of the priestess whom Apollo cursed never to have her prophecies believed, as retribution for refusing to have sex with him. What's the moral of the story? Is it that when a god gives you superpowers and expects sex in return, you better put out? 
Obey the gods or you'll end up like that wayward prophetess who got raped by Ajax in Athena’s temple and then forced into Agamemnon’s sexual service before being murdered by the latter’s wife, and deeply regretting her mistake of not having spread for Apollo.
I for one can't imagine why I wouldn't tell my kids that story at bedtime.
In fairness, plenty of traditional children's tales are extraordinarily violent. And Americans in particular are okay with exposing children to quite violent stories. But sex, not so much.
Anyway, point being: this story isn't the tale of a woman whom nobody believed simply because she was a woman. It's a story about an asshole god mindfucking everyone into not believing her, all because of his celestial blueballs.
