Historical Background

Mimas was one of the Gigantes (giants) in Greek mythology. Mimas was defeated by Hercules in the Gigantomachy (war between the Olympians and the Gigantes) or by Hephaestus in alternate accounts. What Mimas means is unknown, but it may possibly mean "imitate" (derived from the same word for mimic).

Mimas is also one of the moons of Saturn. It was discovered on September 17th, 1789 by William Herschel. This 396km moon is most well known for its gigantic crater, Herschel Crater, which spans one-third the diameter of the moon. There are giant fractures running all across the moon as a result of the impact (the impactor was too small to shatter the moon, but came fairly close). The moon bears a resemblance to the Death Star in the Star Wars franchise, though the similarity is coincidental (since Mimas was not imaged before 1977).
