Battlestar Galactica as Sci-Fi Aeneid?

I kid you not. The parallels are presented at the RogueClassicism blog, following up articles in the Guardian UK and the National Post.

Good Lord. I never imagined, in my most fevered imaginings, that two of my most cherished interests would converge in such a way.

Anyone from AP Vergil who does a paper or project on this topic will earn my undying admiration, and possibly a signed first-edition edition of the Supplementum Aeneidos (just kidding on this last). :-)
