In the original Star Trek series Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise fought and defeated Apollo, a Star God who was honored by the ancient Greeks. But not before one of his crew members, Lieutenant Carolyn Palamas, became the holy vessel for the god's seed.
And there the plot thread dangled until Peter David wove it into New Frontiers, his innovative offshoot of the Next-Gen Trek mythos.
Mr. David revealed that the USS Excalibur's navigator Mark McHenry was a direct descendant of Apollo and Lieutenant Palamas. A demigod in the classical sense, McHenry had knowledge of his divine roots. Through him the Olympian Pantheon re-entered the Star Trek universe. And mortals once again vied with gods in futuristic tales worthy of ancient myth.
