Description: Greek legend tells that the Mighty Achilles, son of Peleus and the Immortal Thetis was leader and king of the Myrmidons, a warrior people of Thessaly. Zeus himself is said to have created these men from ants and even named in honor of the Greek word for ant, Myrmex. Like ants, they fought with cunning, determination, strength and the ruthlessness we hear from the legend of the Illiad. However, much like the great legends of Atlantis, they seem to have vanished after the death of their king and the sacking of Troy. Did they simply disappear however? This household is dedicated to the personification of these lost legends. We are the Myrmidons reborn from the legends of the war, sentinels descended from these warriors who fled to Atlantis. As Atlantis re-joins the realm, it finds it\'s peace in jeopardy and so we stand ready to protect Atlantis and her treasures.

History: Formed in July 2018.\r\n\r\nRanking Structure is militaristic as we are the warrior house of the free-city of Atlantis. Every Helot or slave who joins must go through a probationary period before being allowed to attend and pass the Agoge, a right of passage every Myrmidon must attend and pass in order to wear the colors of the Myrmidons and hold rank as either a warrior citizen(Homoloi) or a non-warrior citizen(Perioeci).They are then afforded the opportunity to become a warrior elite or Hoplite. Only the select who stand apart and prove themselves leaders in the Myrmidon Mora(Army) may earn further achievement as they become a Lokhagos, similar to captain. and then the Tagmartarkhis or Colonel. Only the most cunning of strategists become a Stratigos or General, answering only to the Polemarchos or Supreme Commander of the Atlantean Myrmidons.
