Editing Aurora, Goddess of the Dawn

:''For other uses of the name, see [[Aurora]].''

[[image:AuroraFigurine.jpg|thumb|right|A figurine of Aurora.]]
'''Aurora''' is the goddess of the dawn, and possibly one of the [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Lords of Kobol|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 [[w:Eos|Eos]].
* More on the curious references to real-world Earth mythology and theology is available in the article, [[Mythological references]].

According to the [[Podcast:The Ties That Bind#Act 1|podcast]] for the former episode, the scene where Adama gives her the figurine was cut for time. A scene where she and Gaeta discuss Aurora was also cut.</ref>
