| ==History==
| |
| Kyros of Zarax traveled to Arcadia after hearing tales about its princess, [[Atalanta]], that would marry the first man who would beat her in a race, but whose opponents would be executed if they failed. However, Kyros knew very well that he was no longer the athlete he had been, and so he asked his mentor [[Pythagoras]] for help. Pythagoras directed Kyros to an ancient temple dedicated to [[Aphrodite]], where Kyros eventually found an [[Apples of Eden|Apple of Eden]].

| Kyros then traveled to Arcadia and met King Iasus, who seemed to approve of him and his daughter getting married, as Kyros had been a famous athlete. Atalanta and Kyros then raced each other the following day, and with the help of the Apple, Kyros managed to defeat Atalanta and receive her hand in marriage.
