It is obvious the creators of the movie used myth and religion, that shouldn't be questioned. All of the people are named after mythic figures, such as Persephone and Niobe. All of the ships are named after places, such as the Nebukadnezar. The creators didn't name these things by pure coincedence. Only two questions come from this:
1. Did the writers do this to raise a philosophical question in today's modern age?
2. If so, did it work?
