In Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Kassandra or Alexios can meet the historical philosopher Socrates in Athens.
Socrates appears as a recurring character during the game's story. He is portrayed through conversations that emphasize questioning, debate, and the examination of assumptions. Several quests place the player in situations where a direct answer is less important than the reasoning used to reach it.
Odyssey is set in 431 BCE, during the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta. Socrates was a real Athenian philosopher who lived from about 470 to 399 BCE. He left no writings of his own, so much of what is known about him comes from later authors, especially Plato and Xenophon.
The game's version is dramatized and belongs to a fictional adventure involving the Isu and the Assassin's Creed setting. Nevertheless, Socrates is one of several historical figures integrated into Odyssey's representation of classical Greece.
