Archadians

The first known record of the Archadian society goes back to approximately 300 BCE, using Earth’s calendar, with scrolls mentioning both the name of the planet, Archadia, and the name of their sitting queen, Amphion.  According to Earth mythology, Amphion was the daughter of Antiope who, in turn, was daughter to Ares and sister to sister to Melanippe and Hippolyte and possibly Orithyia, queens of the Amazons.  From the writings of the scrolls Antiope is referred to as the Goddess and mother of all Archadians.  She brought her ‘seed’ to Archadia, leaving her prior home many cycles away, to begin anew as she believed that her former home was soon to begin worshipping other gods and that her children must survive on their own to grow and prosper.  The scrolls do not say how Antiope got all the way from Earth, in the Alpha Quadrant, to Archadia in the Delta Quadrant, but the listings of the names seem to show that she was, indeed, the same Antiope mentioned in Earth myths.
