In Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, the Academy of Plato is in Athens.
Athens is one of the most important locations in the game’s representation of fifth-century BCE Greece. The city is associated with the Athenian state, the Acropolis, the Agora, and major philosophers and political figures. The Academy was founded by Plato in a location outside the city’s main urban center and became one of the best-known intellectual institutions of the ancient world.
Odyssey is set during the Peloponnesian War, beginning in 431 BCE. Players control either Alexios or Kassandra, and the story includes exploration, naval travel, dialogue choices, and role-playing systems. The game incorporates historical figures such as Socrates and Pericles alongside its fictional central storyline.
Athens and Sparta are both central to Odyssey, but they represent rival powers in the conflict. Sparta is especially important to the protagonist’s family background, while Athens is the city connected with Plato’s Academy in the game’s historical world.
