Gorgon

From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide


Gorgons are creatures within the mythology that surrounds the Colonials' polytheistic religion.

In his blaspheming rant in a temple aboard Galactica, Gaius Baltar points out the fact that Asclepius' demise was brought about by the blood of a Gorgon (TRS: "Escape Velocity").

Notes

  • In Greek mythology, Gorgons were dangerous female monsters whose gaze turns a person to stone. Medusa was one of them.
