Pythian Prophecy (BSG SPOILERS TO END OF SERIES)

I've been thinking that it'd be cool to piece together as much of the Pythian Prophecy as I can, primarily out of curiosity. Is it solely about how to get to Earth or is there a creation story? Are there any similarities to our religious texts? 

I've been getting my info (so far) from here. It seems to be the most reliable/verified info out there :)

Time- the reference point is series date. Ex: 2,000 years ago would be ~2,000 years before the destruction of the 12 colonies, (not the year 13, our time) it would be 152,000 years ago haha

Knowns

1. Written by Pythia, ~3,600 years ago, on the exile and rebirth of the human race.
2. It's a repeated cycle in human history. (However, 150,000 years after the finale [present day], Head Six and Head Baltar believe the cycle may be broken.)
3. A leader dying of a wasting disease would lead the caravan of stars to a new homeland/promised land.
4. The leader would not live to enter the homeland, although Laura Roslin does see Earth.
5. The lower demon helped the people in a crisis.
6. It is believed that the story happens over and over and the "characters" are reincarnated for each "re-edition." (At least, that's what I'm getting from the Cylon flashbacks and a couple things Roslin said.)
7. At the Gates of Hera a god ("your god" Sharon speaking to humans) stood and watched Athena "throw herself" off a cliff and onto the rocks below. Her temple is up near the top of the cliff.
8. Kobol points the way to Earth.
9. >Roslin says "According to the scriptures, if we had the arrow of Apollo we could take it down to Kobol and we could use it to open the tomb of Athena and find our way to Earth."
10. Kobol is the birthplace of man, where man and god lived together in paradise until the exodus. (Seems akin to the Garden of Eden.)
11. The exodus occurred around 2,000 years ago.
12. When the 13th tribe landed on Earth they "looked up and saw their brothers." (The zodiac- Capricorn, Taurus, Leo, ect.)
13. The Book/Scrolls of Pythia either contain or are identical to the Pythian Prophecy.
14. The Pythian Prophecy was written 1,600 years before the destruction of the 12 colonies and centers on the exodus of the 13th tribe. According to battlestarwiki "The text apparently contains a detailed narrative of the events of the Exodus, and continues to be interpreted as a source of prophecy 2,000 years after its prophecies have (apparently) already been fulfilled."
15. The dying leader shall know the truth of the Opera House...

Quotes

1. All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again.
2. And the lords anointed a leader to guide the Caravan of the Heavens to their new homeland.

And unto the leader they gave a vision of serpents numbering two and ten, as a sign of things to come.

Led by serpents numbering two and ten... (fragment) 

Though the outcome favored the few, it led to a confrontation at the home of the gods.

And the blaze pursued them, and the people of Kobol had a choice. To board the great ship, or take the high road through the rocky ridge. (continuing) And the body of each tribe's leader was offered to the gods in the tomb of Athena.

1. (Sharon and Elosha add "And the great ship was the galleon that departed from here, where we're standing. And it took the founders of the thirteen colonies to their destiny. And those that didn't board the galleon took the high road, a rocky ridge that lead to the tomb. The path is supposed to be marked by gravestones.")

And the Arrow of Apollo will open the Tomb of Athena.

And Zeus warned the leaders of the twelve tribes that any return to Kobol would exact a price in blood.

Pythia talks about the flood ... wiped out most of humanity ... nobody blames the flood ... flood is a force of nature ... through flood, mankind is rejuvinated, born again ...

Life here began out there. (the first words)

Their enemies will divide them. Their colonies broken in the fiery chasm of space. Their shining days renounced by a multitude of dark sacrifices. Yet still they will remain always together.

The gods shall lift those who lift each other./The gods lift up those who lift each other./The gods help those who help themselves.

Known Metaphors

1. The dying leader is Laura Roslin.
2. The serpents numbering two and ten are the Vipers in the battle for the tylium asteroid and at another point, the snakes Laura Roslin sees on her podium.
3. The Lower Demon is Athena.
4. The fleet is the Caravan of Stars/ Caravan of the Heavens.
5. The "price in blood" apparently means someone dies whenever a group lands on Kobol. Crashdown and Elosha were both killed on Kobol.
6. The jealous god is Cavil.
7. "Offering of the bodies of the leaders of the twelve tribes to the gods" is when the Final Five offered to help the Cylon Centurions make humanoid models.
8. Galactica is the Opera House.

Laura and Billy- 33

Soft noises woke him from sleep. For a moment, he thought he had overslept the alarms that screamed across the fleet every thirty-three minutes. Then he realized it was dark all around him, the only light pale specks of stars outside the windows and the glow of Galactica's engines, not so far away. It had been three hours since the Olympic Carrier had disappeared. He lay on his makeshift bed for a minute, holding perfectly still and trying to locate the noise.

It was coming from the other side of the room, beyond the curtain that separated his space from the President's.

After only a moment's hesitation, Billy carefully peeled his blankets back and rose soundlessly. He was clothed only in his boxers, as he had no other clothing, save his suit. He drew the topmost blanket over his shoulders. It was thin blue-gray fleece, with the Eversun logo embroidered in the corner. He clutched it tight and padded past the edge of the curtain dividing their space.

He could make out Laura Roslin's outline on her chair-bed. Her red hair was dark maroon in the night, and it lay swirled across her pillow. The rest of her was hidden under several blankets. They rose and fell with jagged breaths, and he could just barely hear her crying softly.

"Madam President?"

Crossover!!

Battlestar Greylactica. Or Battlestar's Anatomy. Haha, that one sucked. Um... Grey's Battlestar. Grey's Galactica. Hahaaa, no. 

Let's just say Battlestar Greylactica.

Battlestar Galactica: Sixteen Now

A/N- Laura's mother is called Judith. She's referred to as 'Jude' here a couple times.

Laura Roslin stepped onto the fleet's newest battlestar, Galactica. It was painted dark gray with florescent lights and metal furniture. She clicked down the hall in her newest heels, following the others. She was a runner-up in a political essay contest, and this was the prize.

She hadn't wanted to come, but Jude Roslin had insisted it was a good opportunity. They had gone shopping for clothes the day the letter had come. Now she was the only one dressed fancier than un-ripped jeans and a sweater. White eyelet dress, nylons, four-inch black heels, smooth black suit jacket. On top of that, her mother had curled her hair.

I look ridiculous. I just have to make the best of it, though. Knees bent, toe to heel. Shoulders straight, chin up. She flicked her hair over her shoulder, taking pride in her head-and-a-half over the others and the professional click of her heels on the floor. She carefully kept her eyes on the ship and her fighters.
