: Note that "the King Archon" is not a "name," but a designation, which is why the article "the" is used. 575 Google hits, vs 8 for "Archon King"!

Note that I have included the article in my answer...
My "disagree" to the first answerer seems to have switched itself to an "agree." Not my intention! In fact, the nine "Archons," including the "King Archon," are discussed at length in numerous texts on the Internet. Francis has given you some. You might want to take a look at some others at the following Google search results URL:

Christopher Crockett
: Yes, though I prefer a hyphen, "The King-Archon" if we are to capitalise "archon." Anything to clarify the ambiguity. Definitely NOT a king named "Archon."

On the history (mythological and otherwise) of the institution of the archons, see :
http://plato-dialogues.org/tools/loc/athens.htm#institutions
(Halfway down the page, the section on the last legendary king, Codrus.)
As Robert Graves points out (perhaps too frequently) in his _The Greek Myths_, virtually all proper names from Greek "mythology" had a more or less specific meaning, in and of themselves.
Thus, there was no more a king named "Archon" than there was an "ancienne reine d’Athènes" named "Basilinna" (Basileus being Greek for "king").
Or, for that matter, Christian saints named "Christopher" [_Christophoros_ = "Christ-carrier"], "Longinus" [="spear"], "Foi" [_fides_="faith"], etc.
