The Arkalochori Axe was a Minoan golden-bladed battleaxe engraved with symbols of ritual which was used for ceremonies in Temple of Poseidon in Heraklion during the Peloponnesian War.
History
At the decree of a man known only as Swordfish, ceremonies using the axe were performed to honour the god of the seas, Poseidon. At some point bandits stole the axe, and a terrified priestess approached the visiting Spartan misthios Kassandra, asking her to retrieve the ceremonial axe and thus appease both Poseidon as well as the Swordfish.[1]

Trivia
- When the axe is found within the Arkalochori Cave, the model used is that of labrys, a double-bladed axe. When used, the axe shares the model of the Golden Axe.
- The axe in the cave is modelled after the votive double axes found within the cave in 1912 and in 1934, specifically the Arkalochori Axe.
