Apparently it it thought by some that the Cylons (Cybernetic Lifeform Nodes from the popular science fiction show, Battlestar Galactica) are the inspiration for the stories of the gods that arise in Ancient Greece.
Number One (also known as John Cavil) can be compared to Zeus. Zeus is the king of the gods and ruler of Mount Olympus. He has many erotic escapades. On the show, he was played by Dean Stockwell.
Number Two (also known as Leoben Conoy) can be compared to Apollo. He is the god of light, the sun, truth, and prophecy. On the show, he was played by Callum Keith Rennie.
Number Three (also known as D'Anna Biers) can be compared to Hera. She is the goddess of women and of marriage. She is known for her jealous and vengeful nature. On the show, Number Three has a close relationship to the young child, Hera. She was played by Lucy Lawless.
Number Four (also known as Simon) can be compared to Asclepius. He is the god of medicine and of healing. On the show, he was played by Rick Worthy.
Number Five (also known as Aaron Doral) can be compared to Hermes. He is a messenger to the gods and guide to the underworld. He is the patron of travelers and thieves. On the show, he was played by Matthew Bennett.
Number Six (also known as Caprica-Six, Shelley Godfrey, Gina Inviere, Natalie, and Sonja) can be compared to Aphrodite. She is the goddess of love, beauty, and raw sexuality. On the show, she was played by Tricia Helfer.
*Number Seven has been omitted. There is no photo of him. He is also known as Daniel. Cavil poisoned him amniotic fluid and corrupted his gene code. He was no longer alive and with the other Cylons, but he can be compared to Dionysus.
Number Eight (also known as Sharon "Boomer" Valerii and Sharon "Athena" Agathon) can be compared to Athena. She is the goddess of wisdom, war, strategy, justice, and skill. On the show, she was played by Grace Park.
The final five cylons do not have numbers. They are simply known by their names. Colonel Saul Tigh can be compared to Ares. He is the god of warfare and bloodlust. On the show, he was played by Michael Hogan.
Tory Foster can be compared to Artemis. She is known as the huntress. She is the goddess of forests, fertility and the hunt. On the show, she was played by Rekha Sharma.
Ellen Tigh can be compared to Demeter. She is the Earth Mother. She is the goddess of grain, the cycle of life and marriage. On the show, she was played by Kate Vernon.
Chief Galen Tyrol can be compared to Hephaestus. He is the god of technology, blacksmiths, craftsmen, metal, and fires. On the show, he was played by Aaron Douglas.
Samuel T. Anders can be compared to Poseidon. He is the god of the sea and of earthquakes. On the show, he was played by Michael Trucco.
So what do you all think? Is this a realistic idea (in the world of the show obviously)?
