The city of Atlantis

Atlantis was said to have been the realm of Poseidon when the Hellenic gods divided the world between them; it was said to have been bigger than Ancient Libya and Asia Minor combined. Atlantis was an island in the middle of the present-day Atlantic Ocean (named for the city), with a strong general named Arkantos leading the Atlantean army during the Trojan War and in fighting off Kamos' Egyptian pirates.
