I'm sure anyone who's read The Da Vinci Code will find similarities between the Pius Dea and a certain religious organization depicted in that book... - Kwenn

  • Oh what a terrible little joke. Egads, they must have been really desperate for material. --SparqMan 22:35, 3 Nov 2005 (UTC)
  • Or at least a similarity between Pius Dea and the way Opus Dei is depicted in that book. That's why when I inserted the BtS material, I have made sure to word it in such a way that it's hopefully understood that the real-life Opus Dei isn't exactly what the conspiracy theorists make it out to be.

Bona Dea

Pius Dea means "dutiful to a/the goddess." For centuries in ancient Rome, the Bona Dea festival was held each year. The leading women of Rome would hold a secret ceremony, ensuring Rome's survival and health for the next year. One year, the lecher Clodius Pulcher dressed as a woman to infiltrate the ceremony, desecrating it and earning him a date with the courts. - User:Graestan/sig 17:51, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Pius Dea Latin

To call the gloss "Faithful to the Goddess" improper is a bit extreme. If "dea" were the dative (i.e., if the "a" were long), then one could read "faithful to the goddess". However, one would want to avoid putting the adjective "pius" in the attributive position, so "Dea Pius" would be better for the intended gloss. DBanchs24.182.203.2 17:06, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

Codex entry

Should any information about the Pius Dea codex entry in the Old Republic game be included in the page as how the codex info of Supreme Chancellor Blotus was incorporated into his page? --Senjuto 14:05, January 11, 2012 (UTC)
