Lord of the Storm, Lord of the Clones: Baʿal from Ugarit to Stargate SG‑1 - DiA 15

“Impudence.” - Ba’al

“No tuna.” - Jack

Stargate wasn’t the first to mess around with Ba’al’s characterization. Follow the storm-god from his ancient Near Eastern origins through his later demonization, then compare that long religious history with Stargate SG‑1’s Goa’uld Baʿal to explore how symbols of godhood are built before being torn down.
