What is the name of the first Assassin’s Creed game to feature ancient Greece as its main setting?

The story behind the answer

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is the first game in the series to use ancient Greece as its main setting. Ubisoft Quebec developed the game, which was released in 2018 and takes place during the Peloponnesian War in the fifth century BCE.

The player controls a mercenary descended from the Spartan king Leonidas. The game offers a choice between Alexios and Kassandra as the playable character, while the story explores Athens, Sparta, the Aegean islands, and other parts of the Greek world. Naval travel and dialogue choices are major parts of the experience.

Assassin’s Creed Origins is a frequent mix-up because it introduced the series’ ancient Egyptian setting one year earlier. Odyssey follows Origins chronologically as a release, but its setting is earlier in history and its central conflict is tied to classical Greece rather than Ptolemaic Egypt.
