Trivia & References

New Guy - This episode is the first time Lucius is introduced.

Continuity Warning - In HtLJ "2.14 - Once A Hero", Castor and Pollux are part of the Argonaut reunion and help Jason retrieve the fleece. Only Pollux tries to claim it as his own.

Reality Check - Lucius claims that mistakes can be erased. But did they even have erasers back then, or know what erasing was? According to the The Online Etymology Dictionary, the term "erase" only dates back c.1600, from Latin erasus, pp. of eradere "scrape out, scrape off, shave," from ex- "out" + radere "to scrape".
