Archon
The son of Chaos (the formless matter that
birthed the universe) and Fegkia (Splendor),
Archon was born to be the ruler of the Atlantean
pantheon. He established order out of the universe
his father had created.
It
is said that Fysia spun
strands of Archon's hair to form Atlantis and that
she used her blood to fertilize the earth and to
create the blood-red Fysian Lilies that could only
thrive on Atlantean soil.
Overwhelmed
by the beauty of the continent his sister had
created, Archon wept and as his tears fell, the
race of the Atlanteans sprang up.
Like
his wife Apollymi, he held many epitaphs: Kosmetas (Orderer),
Soter (Savior), and Theokos (the Divine One).
He
was a god of extreme patience and kindness. The
exact opposite of his wife, he was said to be the
balance that she needed so that the order of the
universe could be adequately maintained.
He
adored his wife and unlike the other gods, was
never faithless to her. He watched over his
children and people with benediction and care. And
when Zeus banished the Apollite race to Atlantis,
Archon welcomed them in, thereby causing perpetual
strife between the Atlantean gods and the Greek.
However,
his wrath, when evoked, could be every bit as
ruthless as that of Apollymi. When the Deridians
attacked Atlantis and sacked Kanosis (the capitol
city of Atlantis), he struck their country with
his mighty thorn-hammer and destroyed every man,
woman and child who bore their blood.
Though
he perished with the rest of the Atlantean gods,
there are those who say that Apostolos,
if ever found, holds the ability to raise his
father from the dead and to return Archon to his
throne.
