Notes
- Demetrius I was a Greco-Bactrian king who reigned circa 200-180 BCE as well as many other historical figures.
- Demeter is the Greek goddess of grain and agriculture, the pure nourisher of youth and the green earth, the health-giving cycle of life and death, and preserver of marriage and the sacred law.
- The ship has been rumored to play a large role during the early episodes of Season 4. A partially completed set was revealed during a recent set tour, showing the ship to have a configuration similar to that of a submarine (i.e. cylindrical, very cramped).[2] According to Ron D. Moore, he describes the ship as the "closest we’ve ever come to a sort of Das Boot – type look and feel on this programme since the [2003] mini series".[1] It is set to make its debut in episode five or six.[2]
