Ooo...that's a tough one Monty.

Let's see, if I recall correctly they somewhat mirrored greek mythology.

I remember Athena, Apollo (because of the arrow) and Hera.

Well, I honestly don't recall them mentioning this in the show but if you are going to have Athena then you have to have a Zeus.

They have been named in various episodes of either BSG or Caprica.

You are right about Zeus being one of them. Now we just need 8 more.

Ahh, I didn't mean to make it so difficult!

To help you out, I'll let you know how they were referenced throughout the series:

1. A_ _ _ _ _ _ _ e - This goddess is connected with childbirth

2. Apollo - The arrow of Apollo artifact pointed the way to Earth

3. A_ _ s - God of war; his worshipers attacked Baltar's followers

4. A_ _ _ _ _ s - Starbuck offered prayers to this god

5. A_ _ _ _ _ _ _s - One of Baltar's followers offered a prayer to this god after an attack by the Sons of Ares

6. A_ _ _ _a - The tomb of this god contained a star map to Earth

7. A_ _ _s - This god was depicted as propping up Kobol

8. A_ _ _ _a - The goddess of dawn who brings the morning star and a fair wind

9. H_ _ _ _e - Virgins are sacrificed to this goddess in the holoworld in the Caprica series

10. Hera - The oracle who visited Number 3 on New Caprica descirbed Hera as Zeus' wife

11. P_ _ _ _ _ _n - Baltar told one of his followers that worshiping this god was useless and false

12. Zeus - Adama was referred to as Zeus because his son Lee chose Apollo as his call sign

Guess I should have been more specific. What I ment was I don't remember them ever mentioning Zeus in any of the episodes. My way of saying I was making a wild a** guess.

Let's see what I can do with the hints:

3. God of war would be Mars. No wait, that was Roman. Greek would be Aries. (Thank you Zena Warrior Princess for that knowledge) :)

Oh hey, I just notices you have letters and fill in the blank....

7. I'm gonna guess Atlas because it sounds like our Atlas holding the world on his shoulders (and the letters fit.)

I'm going to have to stew on the others for a while.....

I knew what you meant, Geo. :) I hope I didn't offend you, 'cause I didn't mean to. :(

And you guessed right. I will update the list accordingly:

1. A_ _ _ _ _ _ _ e - This goddess is connected with childbirth

2. Apollo - The arrow of Apollo artifact pointed the way to Earth

3. Ares - God of war; his worshipers attacked Baltar's followers

4. A_ _ _ _ _ s - Starbuck offered prayers to this god

5. A_ _ _ _ _ _ _s - One of Baltar's followers offered a prayer to this god after an attack by the Sons of Ares

6. A_ _ _ _a - The tomb of this god contained a star map to Earth

7. Atlas - This god was depicted as propping up Kobol

8. A_ _ _ _a - The goddess of dawn who brings the morning star and a fair wind

9. H_ _ _ _e - Virgins are sacrificed to this goddess in the holoworld in the Caprica series

10. Hera - The oracle who visited Number 3 on New Caprica descirbed Hera as Zeus' wife

11. P_ _ _ _ _ _n - Baltar told one of his followers that worshiping this god was useless and false

12. Zeus - Adama was referred to as Zeus because his son Lee chose Apollo as his call sign

BTW: Ares was my favorite character on Zena and Hercules. I was very shocked and sad when Kevin Smith died so tragically.

Ok, I'm going to make another wild guess...

8. the part about the dawn makes me think Arrora or Aurora or something like that. Dawn makes me think of sun which some how jogged my memory and brought this name up. Is this even a greek god?

Yep, Aurora is correct. You've named half of them now. Since Zena and Hercules have been mentioned, I'll use a couple of clues from those shows.

No. 1 was a regularly featured goddess on Hercules; in fact, she was Herc's sister and was always up to some kind of mischief.

No. 4 was the goddess of the hunt who formed the Amazons; she was killed by Zena with her own arrows


1. A_ _ _ _ _ _ _ e - This goddess is connected with childbirth

2. Apollo - The arrow of Apollo artifact pointed the way to Earth

3. Ares - God of war; his worshipers attacked Baltar's followers


4. A_ _ _ _ _ s - Starbuck offered prayers to this god

5. A_ _ _ _ _ _ _s - One of Baltar's followers offered a prayer to this god after an attack by the Sons of Ares

6. A_ _ _ _a - The tomb of this god contained a star map to Earth

7. Atlas - This god was depicted as propping up Kobol

8. Aurora - The goddess of dawn who brings the morning star and a fair wind

9. H_ _ _ _e - Virgins are sacrificed to this goddess in the holoworld in the Caprica series

10. Hera - The oracle who visited Number 3 on New Caprica described Hera as Zeus' wife

11. P_ _ _ _ _ _n - Baltar told one of his followers that worshiping this god was useless and false

12. Zeus - Adama was referred to as Zeus because his son Lee chose Apollo as his call sign

Ah....#1 must be Aphrodite. Kind of tricky. I didn't know she was the goddess of childbirth. I only knew she was the goddess of...well, that thing that leads to child birth. ;)

So #4 must be Artemis. (again, thanks for the letter clues.)

I'm going to take a stab at #11 and say Poseidon. Mostly because he's the only god I know who's name starts with a 'P'.

Would the last one, number 5, be Asclepius? the god of healing?

Geo, HF and Kirock -- you are all correct! :)

We now have identified the 12 Lords of Kobol as:

1. Aphrodite - This goddess is connected with childbirth

2. Apollo - The arrow of Apollo artifact pointed the way to Earth

3. Ares - God of war; his worshipers attacked Baltar's followers

4. Artemis - Starbuck offered prayers to this god

5. Asclepius - One of Baltar's followers offered a prayer to this god after an attack by the Sons of Ares

6. Athena - The tomb of this god contained a star map to Earth

7. Atlas - This god was depicted as propping up Kobol

8. Aurora - The goddess of dawn who brings the morning star and a fair wind

9. Hekate - Virgins are sacrificed to this goddess in the holoworld in the Caprica series

10. Hera - The oracle who visited Number 3 on New Caprica described Hera as Zeus' wife

11. Poseidon - Baltar told one of his followers that worshiping this god was useless and false

12. Zeus - Adama was referred to as Zeus because his son Lee chose Apollo as his call sign


Now we have a little dilemma: since this was a group effort, who gets to ask the next trivia question? I will let you decide amongst yourselves.

One thing's for sure, there was a lot of stuff going on in this series worthy of producing trivia questions.

The character of Starbuck actually got his/her name from another character in a famous piece of Literature.

From which book did the name come and what did the character do?

Starbuck was first mate on the Pequod in Melvin's Moby Dick. He tried unsuccessfully to talk Capt. Ahab out of his fateful persuit of the titular great white whale.
