Something that I’ve always been curious about is why the writers chose to name the first few earth vessels after Greek Mythology. It’s proven in universe that the Goa’uld were involved in / responsible for the Greek pantheon. Cronus, Ares, and Athena all appear in the show. So why did they choose to name our ships Prometheus, Daedalus, and Apollo. Isn’t it possible that those figures were also just Goa’uld?
I give the Odyssey a pass because that’s a human story and although the gods play a role in it, it’s very much earth based literature written after the Goa’uld had left earth.
Honestly, I would have stayed away from any mythology just to be safe. Would have made more sense to name the ships in a more conventional fashion, perhaps honoring other famous military vessels or American cultural ideals (Freedom, Independence, Justice, Exploration etc .)
What’s everyone else’s thoughts?
