In Assassin's Creed Odyssey, what is the name of the Spartan protagonist's legendary weapon?

The story behind the answer

Leonidas's Spear is the legendary weapon carried by the Spartan protagonist in Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

The spear originally belonged to King Leonidas I of Sparta, who is shown fighting at the Battle of Thermopylae in the game's opening sequence. The protagonist, either Kassandra or Alexios depending on the player's choice, later uses the broken spear as a powerful Isu artifact and as a central part of the game's combat and story.

Although it is called a spear, the object is not simply an ordinary military weapon. Its supernatural abilities connect the protagonist to the ancient Isu civilization and explain several enhanced combat techniques. The spear can be upgraded during the adventure as the player gathers fragments from Cult of Kosmos members.

A common mix-up is treating Leonidas's Spear as the name of the playable hero's sword. The hero's identity is selectable, but the artifact's name remains the same. Odyssey was released in 2018 and is set mainly in the Greek world during the Peloponnesian War.
