[QUOTE]Originally posted by OnToMars: [QB] NO WAY! Man, that's totally why I don't do spoilers. I suck. Anyway, re Apollo: It's true that we don't know for sure. But it just seems odd given the nature of Apollo and the rest of the Greco-Roman and Mesopotamian gods, since they all liked to torture and mess with humans. Conversely, using Norse for the Asgard made sense, since IIRC, they were much more beneficial figures to mankind than Mediterranean and Mesopotamian gods. Anyway, it's not a huge thing, but you'd think given what they know, they'd be more likely to name their ship Thor or Freya or similar. Random final thought: Do we know how the Titans from Greek mythology play into the Stargate mythos, if at all? Prometheus was a titan that gave mankind fire and who was then punished by Zeus, so it makes sense a) to name a ship for him and b) that he was an Ancient, Tokra, or similar friendly figure who defied a System Lord and was punished. I'd be interested in seeing a story based on the Titan/Olympian struggle myth. Maybe the Titans were remnants of the Ancients that were ultimately defeated by the emerging System Lords? [/QB][/QUOTE]
