Hello everyone,
My name is John, I am Faroese, but am ancestrally from Norway (hence the screen-name). I've never seen the Original Series, and when I asked one of my friends about it, his reply was "70's cheese". And those are his words, not mine. I do not wish to anger any of the old fans. I have, since watching the mini-series and first season, begun to visit forums, and found this once, since I also am a fan of Stargate: Atlantis. I've seen that there are some excellent theorists in here. One of the things that I like about Battlestar Galactica is that it is thought-provoking, and have begun some research into the field of The Twelve Colonies, and their relation to the Constellations of the Zodiac and Greek/Roman mythology.
It was interesting to find out that the constellation Ophiuchus, or the latin form of its name, Serpentarius, is generally not spoken of. This, it seems, is because it is outside of the path the sun spends time in the vicinity of the other twelve. This concurs with the fact that the Thirteenth Colony is apart from the remaining Twelve Tribes of Man. The image of the sign is a man holding a great serpent. The possibilites for whom the figure represents are conflicting. One, is that it depicts Apollo wrestling with the Python to take control of the oracle at Delphi. But my question is, could the name of the Thirteenth Colony, if it ever is discovered, be Serpentarius?
I don't know if this has been previously discussed, but I found it to be pretty interesting and cool
. What do you guys think?
