Gates of Hera: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:28, 20 April 2006

For information on the child of Helo and Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy), see Hera. For information on the Lord of Kobol from where the name of these mountains likely originates, 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 Colonial mythology, it is the point from which Athena jumped to her death in despair over the Exodus of the Thirteen Tribes of Man. 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.
