In Atlantis, you'll find extraordinary things and people. There are centaurs, minotaurs, colossus's, and cyclops. But you know what are more amazing? The heroes. There are thousands and thousand of the them, some aren't even human. There is one important man, his name is Arkantos. Arkantos was born in a time of great turmoil. His homeland was constantly attacked by enemy armies. Now a 44 year old man, he is an admiral.
Kamos, a minotaur, stole the Atlantis trident, but Arkantos is determined to kill him. Arkantos and his army traveled to his island to to attack him, first they needed a bigger army. Once he had 40 men, he took them to destroy Kamos' town center, and kill him. Arkantos cornered him. They were on top of a cliff. He jumped off, landed on a monster, and it swam away. Arkantos' men took the trident back to his homeland.

“Apollo” (when we first see him in Homer and other early sources) is a god of archery, hunting, prophecy, lyre-music, and dancing. He is also god of cattle-herding and plague. He is never connected with the sun. And this stays almost entirely true in mythological texts until they end. How could a sun god sbe banished to earth for a year to serve as a cattle-herder at Troy and again in the sevice of King Admetus. Are we to imagine the sky without a sun for two years?
