In this episode, Cassandra (Claudia Black) is an inhabitant of Atlantis. Black would later play Vala Mal Doran in Stargate SG-1 (1997), who visits Atlantis in The Pegasus Project (2006).
Cassandra has prophetic visions/dreams. In Homer's 'Iliad', in the city of Troy, was the daughter of king Priam and queen Hecuba. Her name was Cassandra, she could see the future, but because of Apollo's curse no one ever believed her predictions.
At 10:31 Hercules says "It looks like I'm not in Corinth anymore." In The Wizard of Oz (1939), Dorothy says "It looks like we're not in Kansas anymore Toto."
The shipwrecked Hercules' meeting with Cassandra on the shore, is similar to Ulysses' first encounters with Calypso and Nausicaa in Homer's Odyssey.
In being filming sessions as Hercules, Kevin Sorbo played the title character Kull the Conqueror (1997), who identifies as Atlantean.
