==Introduction== | |||
One of the [[Lords of Kobol]], worshipped by modern-day Colonials. | |||
Her exact function is unclear, however, her tomb is on [[Kobol]] ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]], [[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]), which indicates that the Lords of Kobol were not immortal, but could suffer death, at least through injury. In [[The Raid]], it is revealed that Athena jumped to her death in despair following the exodus of the 13 tribes. | |||
Athena's tomb is one of the keys to finding [[Earth]], the other being the [[Arrow of Apollo]], and [[Roslin, Laura|Laura Roslin]] sends Lieutenant [[Thrace, Kara| Kara "Starbuck" Thrace]] to [[Caprica]] against [[Adama, William|Adama's]] orders to retrieve the Arrow after the fleet comes across Kobol. | |||
== Notes == | |||
== | ===Greek Mythology=== | ||
==External Links== | In Greek mythology, Athena is the daughter of Zeus who sprang from his forehead as a full grown adult in armour, the result of Zeus having turned her mother into a fly and swallowing her immediately after bedding her. She is the goddess of the city, handicrafts and agriculture and fierce in battle – but will only fight to protect the state and home from outside enemies. The favourite of Zeus’ offspring, a virgin goddess imbued with wisdom, reason, and purity. | ||
===Possible Parallel=== | |||
Athena was the protector of the state and home. Kobol was subject to a cataclysmic event that forced its people to leave in a mass exodus. Did Athena try to protect Kobol? | |||
