Apollo was rejected by a mortal after giving her powers. As a god of prophecy, he should have seen that coming.

I've seen that point expressed cutely in an old goth metal lyric:

    If he did grant
    Wherefore then did
    He not foresee?
    Be like egal
    As if to him
    Might be?

I guess he preferred not to know.
