Dodona Selloi, a human living on New Caprica, is an oracle.
Number Three visits Selloi in her tent, guided by a dream she has about Hera, a child believed dead.
Selloi is surrounded in her tent by curious tapestries and stones. She sits within some of the stones, consuming chamalla, although she prefers some candy or chocolate caramels as well, as chamalla is a bitter substance.
Selloi tells her that Zeus and the other Lords of Kobol are sad for Three. When Three disputes the existence of the Lords of Kobol, Selloi tells her that she knows that Three's own beliefs about God are in flux, and that the Cylon agent doesn't know what to believe.
Selloi knows of Three's dream., and tells her of a message from Three's God: The child of two peoples (human and Cylon) is alive, a child named after the wife and sister of Zeus[1] She warns Three, however, that when Three is able to hold the child in her arms, she will unravel all that the Cylon occupation has done (Exodus, Part I).
Notes
- Selloi is the first oracle seen in the Re-imagined Series.
- The character is named for Dodona (Δωδώνη), an ancient city which was home to a Greek oracle[2], and the Selloi (Σελλοί), a group of priests based there[3]. (Source: Podcast:Exodus, Part I)
