Arcadia was a region in ancient Greece during the sixth century BCE. Kyros of Zarax once visited the region, which was ruled by King Iasus at that time.

History

Kyros of Zarax traveled to Arcadia after hearing tales about its princess, Atalanta, that would marry the first man that would beat her in a race. However, Kyros knew very well that he was no longer the athlete he had been and he asked his menotr Pythagoras for help. Pythagoras directed Kyros to an ancient temple dedicated to Aphrodite, where Kyros eventually found the Golden Apple. 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 raced eachother the following day, and with the help of the Apple, Kyros managed to defeat Atalanta.
