Strangley enough, this might not be due to cross-pollination between Acient Greece and Ancient India, but rather due to Proto Indo-European Mythology

Yeah.
I use NGE as an example of what I call "Shallow Themeing." There is nothing deeper to what you see it's purely there to look cool and add a false sense of mystique.
It's related to the more common "Shallow Proper Nouning" which NGE also does this with all the Judeo-Christian proper nouns.
However I use Roy Batty's death monologue from Bladerunner as the principal example for that cause there more of a history of the fandom going "what does it all mean!?"
