→Background
The only official [[Imperial]] record that lists the Sons of Antaeus is the "Chronicles of the Third Inter-Guild War" of the [[Inca Sector]] in 850-901.[[M41]]. [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Rakman]] of the [[Subjugators]] chapter reported that the Sons of Antaeus showed up unexpectedly and opened a 2nd front forcing the [[Eldar]] pirates to attempt to redeploy. This resulted in the destruction of the Eldar raiding force.{{Fn|1}}
==Inspiration==
As with many other [[Space Marine]] chapters, the Sons of Antaeus are inspired by cultural aspects of certain societies, The Sons of Antaeus are inspired by the Greek/Berber mythological figure of [[Wikipedia:Antaeus|Antaeus]], an incredibly strong and near invincible character descended from Gods.{{Cite this}}
