In November 2001, Byrd Station was declared to be the capital city of the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica]] and was renamed "Achilles" in honor of the Greek hero of the Trojan War. It was thought that because the station was essentially abandoned, there would be no one present to stop an expedition from Achaea from utilizing it as their own headquarters of operations. | In November 2001, Byrd Station was declared to be the capital city of the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica]] and was renamed "Achilles" in honor of the Greek hero of the Trojan War.
