Aurora, Goddess of the Dawn: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:45, 21 May 2007

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[edit]

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.
More on the curious references to real-world Earth mythology and theology is available in the article, Mythological references.
