Athens is the ancient Greek city represented by the Acropolis landmark in Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
Odyssey is set during the Peloponnesian War in the fifth century BCE. Its open world includes Athens, Sparta, and many islands and regions of the Aegean. The Acropolis, a fortified hill associated with classical Athens, appears as one of the city’s defining landmarks.
The Athenian Acropolis is especially associated with the Parthenon, which was built in the fifth century BCE under the leadership of Pericles. Odyssey’s version places the player in a fictionalized historical world populated by real figures, myths, mercenaries, and military factions.
Athens and Sparta are both major powers in the game, so they are sometimes confused when identifying landmarks. The Acropolis is the landmark linked to Athens; Sparta is represented by locations in Laconia, including the area around its settlement.
