Minos

As King of Atlantis, Minos oversaw a prosperous city and a mighty army. But despite his position of power he was ailing physically a condition which naturally worsened when Pasiphae began slowly poisoning him. As we start series two, we learn that the King has lost the battle with his health. He is finally put to rest on a funeral pyre, leaving his daughter, Ariadne, his sole heir.

There is no higher honour than to give your life for your city and your King.
