Stargate

myth:stargate

Stargate takes the old gods and makes them aliens: the parasitic Goa'uld who ruled as the gods of Egypt — Ra, Osiris, Anubis, Hathor — the kindly grey Asgard who were the Norse gods, Thor and his kin, and a later turn to Arthur, Merlin, and the Grail. Mythology reframed as the misremembered visits of advanced beings — euhemerism for the space age. — contemporary culture
