Assassin's Creed Odyssey recreates the epic events of the Peloponnesian Wars between Sparta and Athens. Kassandra and Alexios' journey introduces us to a cast of historical characters from Spartan generals to Athenian diplomats; lets us experience real battles and tragedies like the Athenian plague; and step into hoplite armour in ancient combat. Dr Roel Koninendijk breaks down the real history behind the warriors and the societies at the heart of Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
