In Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, which ancient Greek city is home to the famous statue of Athena Promachos?

The story behind the answer

In Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, the famous statue of Athena Promachos stands in Athens.

Athena Promachos was a monumental bronze statue of the goddess Athena created by the sculptor Phidias. It stood on the Acropolis and was described by ancient sources as a prominent landmark visible from a considerable distance. The statue itself no longer survives, so its appearance is known through literary evidence and later reconstructions.

Odyssey portrays Athens during the Peloponnesian War, when the city is a major center of politics, philosophy, art, and naval power. The Acropolis and its surrounding districts form one of the game’s most recognizable urban locations.

Sparta is the rival Greek power featured throughout the game, but it was not the home of Athena Promachos. Corinth and Thebes are also important ancient Greek cities, yet neither is associated with this statue. The question refers to the historical monument’s city, not to the protagonist’s origin or allegiance.
