*Mythological Reference:
Referred to as Apophis by the Greeks, he was known as Apep by the Egyptians. He was the personification of darkness, evil and chaos and the chief antagonist of the sun god Re.
The Goa'uld Apophis is actually responsible for the formation of the SG-1 team. It was Apophis who came through the "dormant" Earth Stargate and who attacked Abydos shortly after Ra's death. It was also Apophis's first prime, Teal'c, who betrayed him, saved Col. O'Neill, and became a vital part of the SG-1 team.
