I use Overlord Greking (COTA 087) to fight and destroy my opponent's Hexpion (COTA 113). Hexpion’s “Destroyed:” ability archives Hexpion. Can Overlord Greking’s ability put Hexpion into play from my archives?

Commentary
When Overlord Greking's ability “puts” a creature “into play,” the creature enters play exhausted, and Play: abilities and Bonus icons on the card do not resolve.
Regardless if Overlord Greking was the attacker in a fight, if Overlord Greking survives a fight, its ability will resolve.
