In Assassin's Creed Odyssey, what is the name of the player character's legendary spear?

The story behind the answer

The player character's legendary weapon in Assassin's Creed Odyssey is the Spear of Leonidas.

The spear is connected to Leonidas I of Sparta, who appears in the game's opening sequence at the Battle of Thermopylae. It is later carried by the playable Spartan mercenary, either Kassandra or Alexios, depending on the player's choice.

In the game, the spear is more than an ordinary weapon. Its fragments and powers are tied to the Isu, the ancient civilization that influences many Assassin's Creed mysteries. The player upgrades it at the Forge of Hephaistos to unlock stronger abilities.

The player character choice can change the name of the active protagonist, but not the identity of the legendary spear. The Staff of Hermes is a different ancient artifact associated with Pythagoras and the long-lived Keeper Aletheia. The Apple of Eden is another recurring type of Isu artifact.
