	The '''Atlantis artifacts''' were [[Precursor relic]]s created by the [[Isu]] ~~for use in the~~ [[~~Olympos Project~~]]. ~~There are four known artifacts: the~~ [[~~Prize of the Medusa~~]]~~, the~~ [[~~Prize~~ of ~~the Sphinx~~]], ~~the~~ [[~~Prize of the Cyclops~~]]~~, and the~~ [[~~Prize of the Minotaur~~]].		The '''Atlantis artifacts''' were [[Precursor relic]]s created by the [[Isu]] that could transmutate [[human]]s into hybrid beasts later remembered as various monsters in local myths. [[Juno]] and her husband [[Aita]] used four of these artifacts in their [[Olympos Project]], an initiative meant to create living weapons to strike fear into their [[Human-Isu War\|rebelling]] human [[Slavery\|slaves]], though a fifth was later identified that seemingly had no connection to the Project.
