“	That looked like Theris. It has been a long time since you sent him to the Underworld, Arkantos. Fighting old battles again?	”
—Athena, when Arkantos kills Theris, in both dreams.

Theris is an Anubite bandit that Arkantos defeated years before the events of the Fall of the Trident campaign in Age of Mythology.

Special ability

Jump: can leap towards any enemy within range 4 to 8, causing 50 hack damage. Recharge time: 5 seconds.

Campaign appearances

In Fall of the Trident, he first appears (as a normal Anubite and without fire) in the cutscene before the Omens scenario, during Arkantos' dream. He reappears in another of Arkantos' dreams during the Good Advice scenario, alongside other myth units such as Chimeras and Hydras. He is stronger than Arkantos and Kamos.

In Retold, he also appears in the Tutorial scenario, where he is alive and leads a mercenary band as a warlord, which Arkantos must defeat.

Mythology

• Retold
• Original

“	Age -- 48 Homeland -- Thonis Occupation -- bandit and pirate Theris was a bandit lord that Arkantos defeated many years ago. There may be some sinister connection between Theris and the Minotaur, Kamos, but the undead Anubite isn't one for sharing his secrets.	”

“	Scientific name -- Pholax cynopolis Size -- about 9' tall Diet -- doesn't eat, but may gain energy from emotions such as fear Theris was a bandit lord that Arkantos defeated many years ago. There may be some sinister connection between Theris and the Minotaur, Kamos, but the undead Anubite isn't one for sharing his secrets.	”

Trivia

• Unlike most heroes, he doesn't have Age, Homeland and Occupation listed in his bio. Instead he has Scientific name, Size and Diet like an Anubite. This was changed in Retold.
  • The homeland eventually listed for him, Thonis, happens to have been submerged over time.
• Instead of a hero glow, he's on fire.
• He's the only unit classified as both a hero and a myth unit. This means he gains bonuses from upgrades which affect heroes as well as those that affect myth units.
