Who was the Cyclops? Was Atlantis real? How did Medusa become a Gorgon? What was the riddle of the Sphinx? Assassin's Creed Odyssey doesn't just bring Ancient Greece to life. It also gives players the chance to confront iconic monsters from Greek mythology: Medusa, the Sphinx, the Cyclops and the Minotaur. All form part of an epic quest to help Pythagoras guard the secrets of Atlantis. In this video, classicist and gamer Kevin Wong breaks down the big and niche details of Ancient Greek mythological monsters as you meet them in Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
