One day his spies came back to him, and said that 

Persians were going to attack Athens with 180,000 

men. Timothy quickly gathered all his men and 

marched towards Thermopylae, a narrow 

mountainous path. When they arrived, they were 

ambushed by the Persian army. To save his men 

the general told all but 300 men, to retreat. All his 

men died, and in order to survive he hid in a pile of 

dead bodies until they left. When Timothy arrived, 

Athens was destroyed and his son lay dead on the 

floor of his house.

After Timothy stopped grieving for the loss of 

his son, Zeus came to him in a dream and told 

him that Timothy's wife was still alive. She was 

taken by Helios, the sun god. When Timothy 

woke, he went to Helios' sun palace, disguised 

as Apollo, the god of light. When he went 

inside, he saw his wife trapped in a cage. He 

ran to her and let her out of the cage, but 

Helios saw him free her. Helios quickly grabbed 

the woman and threw her off the sun. She was 

dead.

Timothy was filled with rage and angrily asked why 

he had caused his family so much pain. Helios said 

that in the battle of Thermopylae Timothy had killed 

Helios's son. Helios's son was a Persian soldier. 

Timothy and Helios decided to fight each other to 

the   death. The winner would become a God with 

the power to bring people back to life.
