Biography[]
Before Arkantos arrives, Helen, the wife of Agamemnon's brother Menelaus was kidnapped by the Trojans, vowing him to rescue her. When Arkantos arrives at Troy, he finds Agamemnon and Ajax, who are struggling to resist the Trojan attacks. They start by destroying two nearby docks to weaken their naval strength. He then meets with Odysseus and teams up with him to siege the main gate and rescue Helen, who is the wife of Agamemnon’s brother. They are successful in taking down the gate, but Ajax’s camp is ambushed and Arkantos is forced to order his men to retreat. As Arkantos and Ajax destroy the Trojan base adjacent to the camp, Agamemnon’s camp is attacked.
Just as Agamemnon contemplated giving up, Arkantos reconsidered his tactics, and Odysseus suggests building a great wooden horse to sneak behind their walls. They succeed in doing so, and Arkantos, Ajax and Odysseus steal siege weapons to raze the gate. With the security undermined and the element of surprise on their side, Agamemnon storms his army inside and they are successful in saving Helen. He is not seen again afterwards.
