Narrowly escaping the deadly cliffs of mount Athos, the Ionian crew find itself
stranded on strange lands. As they disembark, one of them shouts: "Hey, there is a road!"
All others quickly jump off the deck in hope to find someone, a merchant, a peasant, whatever,
who can tell them where they are and how they can get home.
Their leader, a man named Antinoos, is the only one who is fully armed. All others must rely on him
that he can guide them through possible dangers...
As they advance on the road, a peasant comes by. He tells the Ionians that there is a lost priest
somewhere here, who might be able to help them. With great enthusiasm, the lost Ionians start
to seek him...

The Ionians finally find the priest, whom they ask where they are, and how they can get home.
"You are dangerously close to the demons of the underworld, and your only way to get out of
here is by fighting. It will not be worth fleeing like cowards!"
Scared and discouraged by this answer, Antinoos asks: "But where are we? What must we do?"
But the priest is gone.

Arriving in the large city of Spartaloss, the Ionians rest. Meanwhile, Antinoos meets the ruler of the
city.
"We are suffering from the continuing invasions of Hades' demons. These creatures are destroying
our farmlands and killing our peasants. Nobody has arrived here for a long time!"
Antinoos nods. He has already heard of these beasts. The king continues.
"If we do not stop these invasions, we are doomed!"
"But where do they come from?" Antinoos inquires.
"In the east, there is a large city called Ismaros. It must have made a pact with Hades, because it is
spared by these raids. It even seems that these creatures come from there!"
"Would you advise me to go there?"
With a horrified face, the king stares at Antinoos.
"Of course not! I would not even send the inhabitants of Cyme there! And these are my fiercest
enemies. They keep preventing my boats to go out fishing and thus eliminate any chance of my
population to get food!"
"Maybe then I should talk to the king of Cyme. Maybe he will let you evacuate your people to
his lands until the demons leave."
The old king stands up, his face is delighted.
"You would do that? That's great! Cyme lies at the coast of Euboea, a bit south of here. You
will need a ship..."
"Don't worry, we already have one!"

Landing at the shores of Euboea, the Ionians hope to get easy access into the city. But its gates
are closed, the towers armed with archers. The gate opens and a richly dressed man steps out.
"Who are you, and what do you want on this island?"
"I am Antinoos and this is my crew, a part of the Ionian army!"
"I have never heard of you. Get out of here!"
"But we come in the name of the king of Spartalos!"
With a surprised expression, the man invites them in but his voice does not get friendlier.
"What does he want?" he asks after a long while.
"His lands are being raided by demons of the underworld. He asks you to receive his people until
the raids are over."
"What kind of demons?"
"Walking dead. Skeletons that have arose from their graves, heavily armed. They destroy
everything they see and kill everyone who crosses their path!"
"I shall speak to the king. But you, get out! I cannot host warriors like you."
"But where can we go?"
"I have a small request. There is an island, its name is Scyros. It used to be my most important
trade partner. But for a while now, the population has fled. They are speaking of something like
horrible creatures, half man, half horse, called Centaurs. Nonsense. But I would like you to go
there and see what's wrong. But not with your exausted army. There is a friendly city on Chios. 
They may give your reinforcements. Good Luck."

Kindly, the king of Chios welcomes the Ionians. As Antinoos tells him that they were sent by
the king of Cyme, he answers:
"I suppose that he sent you in the Scyros matter?" Antinoos explains the situation to the king.
"Yes, I can give you men. And ships. Yours is half a wreck and it must first be repaired. But it will
not be enough for the number of men you will need.
Scyros lies northeast of Euboea. That is the island north of Attica. You should not return here
after you have visited Scyros, because the sea is very dangerous. You can travel directly from
Euboea to Athens, although I have heard that even this travel may be dangerous. Be careful."
"But what shall we do with your men?"
"Let them decide." The old man smiles and leads Antinoos to a palace window. Outside, the large
harbor of Chios can be seen. "These ships are your ships. I ask you again to not return. I'd be
happier to know that all my ships are safe in a far-off land than only few of my ships here in the
harbor."

As he notices that the Centaurs are dead for sure, Antinoos cries out triumphantly and his soldiers 
do the same. 
All of the sudden, an old man comes out of a nearby cave. His face is delighted, but his eyes 
show sadness. 
"Congratulations, Antinoos of Athens!"
"How do you know my name?" Antinoos is obviously surprised. "I have never seen you before!"
"This world is full of miracles, my friend. But it is not relevant to explain this right now. I suppose 
that you have been sent by the king of Cyme?"
"Yes. But I came from Chios."
"I guess so" the old man replies. "He is one of the few who can still provide good ships. But now, 
let's get to more important things. All inhabitants have fled to Gaurion. Only I and a few 
priests have remained here. But we cannot rebuild the island here. You must return the refugees 
here."
"No! I want to go home!" The shout of a soldier is strenghtened by others.
"Don't worry," Antinoos calms them, "Gaurion is on our route. We will only stop by to tell the people 
that they can return, get some provisions and return home."
"I wouldn't be so sure." The old man gackles. Not caring for this warning, the men board their 
ships.

The Ionians land in the harbor of Gaurion. With joy the people greet them.
"Are you the refugees from Scyros?" Nestor asks. A young man steps out of the crowd. "Yes. 
Were you there?"
"Yes." Antinoos replies, "We have killed the Centaurs. It is safe to return."
"That is great", the young man replies, but his words dissapear in the joyful upset of the crowd. 
"But I am afraid that there still is a thing to be managed." "What is it?" Antinoos asks.
"There are some islands, near the Asian shore. I don't know exactly their names, nor where they 
are. But I have heard that horrible beasts live there. One day, a ship arrived on Scyros. It was the 
same day the Centaurs appeared. Something stepped out of the ship. It was night and we couldn't 
see exactly what it was. But it stole our treasure and several women from our town."
"Why haven't you tried to bring them back?"
"We were not able to. We had to flee to Gaurion, and the ship went into the other direction. I don't 
know where the ship sailed, nor exactly why it was there. But I suppose that it was one of the 
Cyclopae who are supposed to live somewhere."
"Do we have to hurry? My men would like to go to Athens and fetch some reinforcements, and 
we`ll also need our leader, Theseus, to go on."
"Not a hero is needed, my friend, only a god could possibly kill these beasts!"

In hope to get some ideas of what to do next, Theseus and Antinoos land at the harbor of Naxos. The 
people don't look at all happy.
"Are you gods?" a small girl walks towards the two men. "No." Theseus shakes his head. "But we 
would like to see one." "I can help you." The girl leads them to a large house. After a brief 
greeting and an explanation of the situation, the owner says:
"Yes, I can help you. There is a beast. It lives on the other shore, on the island of Paros, right on 
the opposite of Naxos. It is a horrible Scylla, a beast with many heads looking like snakes. It is 
the reason why our island is becoming so poor. Can you kill this beast?"
"I'm not sure," Theseus replies. "It must be a very large creature." "Yes, it is known to attack ships 
without a good reason. It eats its crew and the ships often drown in the nearby waters."
"How can we kill it?"
"I don't know. But Ares, the god of war, promised that, whoever will kill this beast is worthy of 
his support, and he will place himself in this mans service. Good Luck."

The Scylla is dead! The population of Naxos runs into the streets celebrating for five consecutive 
days. 
Meanwhile, on the Olympos:
Zeus, father and king of all deities, enters the huge throne room, followed by all godesses and 
gods. Like a thunder, Zeus' voice roars accross the room.
"Ares! Come here!"
With deep respect Ares slithers accross the floor.
"Ares, didn't you promise that, whoever can kill the Scylla will be your master?"
"Yes." Ares lowers his head and looks on the ground. A muttering and murmuring goes through 
the divine crowd. Isn't it an inexcusable thing that a god would place himself into the services of a 
mortal?
"Well then," Zeus speaks after a while, "Someone has done so. Theseus of Athens." Delight fills the 
face of Athene. Her favorite mortal has managed to subdue a god. Slowly she steps out of the 
crowd.
"Oh father and king, let me take the place of Ares!" Relief fills the face of the deity of war. With 
an expression of anger, Zeus looks first at Athene, then at Ares and again at Athene.
"I believe it is up to Ares to judge this!"
"Oh father, it was my promise, and I should go down there, " Ares hastily replies, "But I think it is 
a noble deed of Athene to relieve me in this case. And I think we should let her." A smile comes 
on Zeus' lips, and he grants Athene her request. "But you are not relieved, Ares!"

As the Cyclops falls down, he reveals a huge cave door. Many women run out, towards the 
victorious Ionians.
"Have you come to liberate us?" one of them asks Theseus. "Yes. But I fear that we shall not stay 
long here. I am sure that there are more Cyclopae here. Come on, let's board the ships and get 
out of here!"
"Wait!" Antinoos stops Theseus. "What about the treasures?"
"You're right!" He turns around and shouts out "Come on, we forgot the treasures!"
In hurry, the Ionians run into the Cyclop's cave, and carry out the most beautiful things that 
they have ever seen. 
But the shine of the gold in the light of the setting sun attracts the one-eyed monsters that have 
been peacefully sitting on top of the cave, not noticing the struggle between the humans and their 
friend. Outraged, one of them grabs a stone and throws it down the mountain, hitting several men. 
"Let's get out of here quickly!" Theseus shouts. All warriors hastily board their ships. One of them 
sinks, being hit by a huge rock thrown by one of the Cyclopae. In hope of not getting hit, and not 
listening to the shouts of their drowning friends, the remaining Ionians make their way out. They 
come to one of the nearby island from where they send several ships to Scyros, returning the 
women and treasures. A part of the treasures is returned to the Ionians as a thanks for their 
services.
