Greek Mythology

In LOST there has seemed to be a recurrent theme of Greek Mythology. It pops up in a lot of episodes in one way or another.

Anyway...back to the ARG and the mythology. I found a few things after I had researched the group names. I haven't made any sense of much of it but I will show it here all the same.

In the book “bad twin” which is linked with lost the main character owns a dog named Argos The book later explains that Argos is also the name of Odysseus’ guard dog in Homer’s The Odyssey.

Polyphemus is the cyclops that plays a pivotal role in Homer's odyssey

Linus - Son of Apollo and Psamathe, whose father was the King of Argos. She feared her father and gave the infant Linus to shepherds to raise.

Also relating to Apollo....Apollo candy bars.

Initially, "Persephone" was the identity Rachel Blake took on while hacking the Hanso Foundation phone line and website. Persephone is also a name found in greek mythology.

Odysseus and his men tie themselves to sheep to escape polyphemus

Penelope and Desmond’s story, and the similarity to the epic of Penelope and Odysseus from Homer’s The Odyssey and The Iliad. In Homer's Odyssey, Poseidon was the God of the Sea. He hated Odysseus and used his powers over the ocean to hinder Odysseus' attempts at returning to Penelope, his wife. Charles Widmore does not want Desmond to be with Penelope, and "controls the sea" with his freighter, Kahana, which resides off the coast of the island. It's possible that Charles Widmore is a Poseidon figure in that he controls the sea around the island and is hindering Desmond's attempts to be with Penelope.




A lot of this relates back to Homer's Odyssey

Again what (if anything) this has to do with LOST or the ARG....I don't know.


Get your brains into gear kids, lets see if we can come up with something.
