I'd been thinking a couple weeks ago that Gaius' den of orgiastic iniquity looked, in some ways, like a Christmas-y version of a Mithraeum. Except I doubted that they'd have bothered to incorporate such odd aspects of ancient religion. And then what do they mention in this episode, but Mithras.
Plus lots of images of gods and goddesses, and mention of Athena coming full-grown out of Zeus' head, so all-in-all it was a happy-making episode for me colonial-religion-wise.
I loved the Zeus statue, though. I will probably end up making an icon of it, because, shiny gold thunderbolt!
The other aspects of the episdoe were mostly just more than a bit odd, and I'm not quite sure what to think of the bizarre ways our Four are acting.
