Message: <blockquote data-quote="llrajitha" data-source="post: 5735286" data-attributes="member: 71849">your thread is great amigo <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /> i have all 5 seasons, and im looking forward for the 6th season. as you told before there are many thing that we can learn from the characters.  and even about the sci-fi part, lost fans have theories relating to greek mythology.here is some detail from a website <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" />In “A Tale of Two Cities”, we see a new DHARMA station, which appears to be the Hydra. This might be an apt name, because it seems to me it is many-armed (part of it a zoological station on land, part of it underwater); in biology, a hydra is an freshwater invertebrate distantly related to jellyfish that has many appendages; they are known for the ability to regenerate when one is cut off. But the Hydra is also a mythical beast from Greek mythology. Like Cerberus (which we pretty know now is the Smoke Monster’s name from the blast door map), it was one of the monstrous offspring of Typhoon and Echidna, two of the Titan gods. Also like Cerberus, Hercules battled Hydra as part of the 12 Labors.  This appears to continue an ongoing theme of Greek mythology seen on the show: The opening of the Hatch (Swan Station entrance) itself last season could be seen as a Pandora’s Box metaphor. Apollo Candy Bars are named after the Greek god of the sun. At the end of last season, <a href="http://www.lostblog.net/lost/tv/show/faithful-penelope" target="_blank">we wrote about</a> Penelope and Desmond’s story, and the similarity to the epic of Penelope and Odysseus from Homer’s The Odyssey and The Iliad. Persephone, the nickname Rachel Blake uses in <a href="http://www.lostblog.net/lost/tv/show/the-lost-experience-the-relatively-short-summary-for-nonplayers" target="_blank">The Lost Experience</a>, is also the name of the godess of Spring’s daughter, who was kidnapped and taken to the underworld to be Hades’ wife. Interestingly enough, the Lost writers said that the best translation of the hieroglyphics from the countdown clock is “Underworld”. Can you think of any more references to Greek or other cultural mythology on the show? Why do you think they are making the references that they are?  What do you think DHARMA uses the Hydra Station for, if they are studying zoology? What are your thoughts on the weirdly-rigged bear cages, and the sharks they used to keep in the aquariums?</blockquote>
