Heroes:
1) Arkantos
A participant in the Trojan War, Arkantos:
helped to resurrect the Egyptian god Osiris,
united the Norse clans, and
prevented the Cyclops Gargarensis from unleashing the Titan Kronos upon the world.
Granted divine status for his heroic efforts, he advised his son against the agents of Kronos. Arkantos was a master warrior and a brilliant tactician, and thus, got the rank of Admiral. In his early days, there were many enemies for him to fight and Atlantis was under constant threat. He could defeat every enemy of Atlantis except for pirates. His position then became ceremonial, as Atlantis had no major enemies. Arkantos only had to deal with the occasional pirate attack. One raid turned personal when the pirate Minotaur Kamos killed Arkantos wife. This left Arkantos his only son, Kastor and a deep hatred of pirates, particularly, Kamos. After he defeats Gargarensis, Zeus makes him a god.
2) Ajax
The son of the King of Salamis, Ajax was the second greatest Greek champion at Troy, behind only Achilles. Homer described Ajax as a wall and said he was much taller than other men were. When Achilles withdrew from the fighting, and it was Ajax who met Hector in single combat. The two heroes fought all day, with only Hector takes a slight wound. Following the death of Achilles, Ajax competed with Odysseus for the armor of the fallen hero. Odysseus proved more eloquent as a speaker, yet, and got the prize. Besides, he accompanies him to Ioklos afterward. Ajax is the "brawn" of the team, not being much of a strategist but a hardy fighter.

In Egypt, he assists his companions by leading the force taking the Head of Osiris from the Tamarisk Tree. As the heroes attempt to escape a band of fire giants in Niflheim, he sacrifices himself. He toppled a large boulder to block the path of the giants. Chiron saved his comrades but ensuring his death as the giants overwhelm him.
4) Odysseus
