==== Peacock symbolism ==== | |||
In season 3 episode 3 "Wingman", while Olive is exploring ancient mythologies by studying pieces of Egyptian artwork that TJ had given her, she stumbles upon some clues and a peacock feather at the same time that Cal has a vision of a peacock. The peacock has various religious and symbolic significances in different cultures and religions. Here are some of its religious associations: | |||
# '''Christianity''': In Christianity, the peacock has been associated with immortality, resurrection, and the glory of God. Its extravagant and vibrant plumage was believed to symbolize the radiant beauty and eternal life found in Christ. Peacock feathers were used as decorative elements in religious art and architecture, particularly during the Byzantine era. | |||
# '''Hinduism''': In Hinduism, the peacock is closely associated with the deity Lord Murugan (also known as Kartikeya or Skanda). Lord Murugan is often depicted riding a peacock and is considered the god of war, victory, and wisdom. The peacock is regarded as a sacred bird and a symbol of beauty, grace, and divine protection. | |||
# '''Buddhism''': In Buddhism, the peacock is regarded as a symbol of purity, wisdom, and enlightenment. It represents openness and acceptance of all experiences and is associated with the concept of breaking free from the cycle of suffering (samsara) and attaining spiritual liberation (nirvana). | |||
# '''Greek Mythology''': In ancient Greek mythology, the peacock was associated with the goddess Hera. It was believed that Hera adorned the tail feathers of the peacock with "eyes" as a symbol of her watchfulness and all-seeing knowledge. The peacock, therefore, became a symbol of protection and divine vision. | |||
# '''Islam''': In Islamic art and culture, the peacock is often depicted as a symbol of beauty, abundance, and spiritual guidance. It is associated with the concept of Paradise and is believed to have resplendent feathers in the heavenly realm. | |||
