Hello Greekmuns!
So there's a new guy in the bar tonight -- Felix Gaeta from the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series. If you're familiar with the show, you might know where I'm heading with this. If you're not: most of the humans in the BSGverse are polytheists. Greco-Roman polytheists, to be exact. Some of the pantheon's more minor figures have gotten elevated to major status (Eos/Aurora and Asclepius are worshipped on par with the Olympians, for instance), but pretty much all of the names and functions have stayed the same.
While Gaeta's not terribly religious? Tagging him with a Greek god would be a bit like God or Jesus plopping down across the table from a Christian and going, "o hai." I am totally not opposed to this happening eventually, but I'd also like to let him adjust to the General Milliways Weirdness (tm) first before dropping that particular bomb on him. *g* So! Please don't sic the deities on him tonight, and in the future, please please ping me at ironic segue (or leave a comment in his contact post) before sending one his way.
Merci beaucoup!
