- For information on the child of Helo and Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy), see Hera Agathon. For information on the Lord of Kobol for which these mountains are named, see Hera, Lord of Kobol.
The Gates of Hera are twin mountain peaks on Kobol that mark the entrance to the Tomb of Athena. In the Colonial religion, it is the point from which Athena jumped to her death in despair over the Exodus of the Thirteen Tribes.
The path that leads to the Gates of Hera is lined with ancient gravestones (Home, Part II).
Notes
- The Gates of Hera are actually twin peaks just north of Vancouver, where the show is filmed. They rise prominently over downtown Vancouver and are known locally as "the Lions."
- Compare the Pillars of Hercules.
