Episode 5-9 titles revealed

It's nice to see some solid literary allusions.

Ep 7: Magic to make the sanest man go mad
From Homer's Iliad.
Ep 8: Si vis pacem, para bellum
From Vegetius.
Ep 9: Into the forest I go
From the saying "Into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul," often attributed to John Muir (but I'm not sure if it was really him or somebody else).

translated to "If you want peace, prepare for war". That has got to be Lorca.
Yes I can see him saying that! But the title is also Very DS9 /Section 31! Nothing says war more than quoting from a bit of everyone's favourite Roman - Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus! (Thanks Wiki!) Just glad they are not using the same Sun Tzu quote every single Sci-Ft show uses when they are in a war situation! Thanks for posting these!
 
From Homer's Iliad.

Specifically Book XIV. "There is the heat of Love, the pulsing rush of Longing, the lover's whisper, irresistible—magic to make the sanest man go mad."

Also, "Lethe" refers to the River of Forgetfulness in Hades. Which is why the memory-wiped inmate in "Dagger of the Mind" was named that. The episode probably isn't connected to her except through the shared allusion.

"Si Vis Pacem..." is episode 8, so it should be Kirsten Beyer's episode.

That's the ep that David Alan Mack was raving about isn't it?
 
Even a Buffy musical episode where an energy creature takes them over and makes them do it wouldn't turn it around.

I mean nearly. But no.
