Aurora, Goddess of the Dawn
From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
- For other uses of the name, see Aurora.
Aurora is the goddess of the dawn, and possibly one of the Lords of Kobol.
When Kara Thrace visits the oracle Brenn in Dogsville, she touches a small winged icon of the goddess, which is then given to her by the oracle.
Thrace later gives the icon to Admiral William Adama as a figurehead to place on the bow of the model sailing ship he is building (Maelstrom).
Notes
- After the events of the episode, "Crossroads, Part II", there is a possible connection between this probable Lord of Kobol and Kara Thrace. For more on this story arc, see The Destiny.
- Aurora's Greek counterpart is Eos.
