Assassin’s Creed Odyssey contains a wealth of beautiful historical locations for players to explore.
Known for its creative take on historical fiction, the Assassin’s Creed franchise is no stranger to recreating beautiful monuments of the past. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, the eleventh installment in the franchise and second in the Origins series, is no exception. With AC slowly going through iconic time periods and immersing players into a world filled with living history with a side of science fiction, it was only a matter of time before players found themselves in Greece.
Despite the game being released in 2018, players are still finding ways to enjoy exploring the expansive map. Whether they play as Kassandra or Alexios, each playthrough has the potential to be different from the last.
Like other games in the franchise, Ubisoft developers merged historical events with the fictional world of Assassins. And like its predecessors, AC Odyssey delivers a variety of artistic renditions of ancient architecture. 10 Akropolis Of Argos
The Eagle Bearer first encounters the Akropolis of Argos while traveling on the city’s Northwest side. It is one of two akropolis’, the other being the Bloody Oracle, dedicated to a version of Apollo. Unlike its counterpart, the Akropolis of Argos is home to several temples within its walls.
Citizens of Argos and its surrounding areas come to one of the temples to worship Zeus Larisaios, Hera Akraia, and Athena Polias. It is one of several places in the game where The Eagle Bearer cannot fully enter without fear of alerting guards.
Despite this, the Akropolis of Argos is a much nicer (and significantly less bloody) akropolis when compared to the Bloody Oracle. Both akropolis’ provide an excellent view of Argos. 9 Temple Of Apollo In Elis
A beautiful temple located near the coast, the Temple of Apollo in Elis is quite the sight. According to AC Odyssey, the Temple of Apollo is believed to have been built by Iktinos who also built Athens’ iconic Parthenon. The Eagle Bearer comes upon the temple while either exploring the area or completing quests. The temple is located next to the Temple of Hades.
The Temple of Apollo does look similar to other temples dedicated to the god in AC Odyssey with one difference: the marble statue as The Eagle Bearer enters the grounds. It’s one of many examples of painted marble statues throughout the game and is one of the most impressive. 8 Temple Of Artemis Orthia
This temple was one of the most important religious sites in Sparta. It was dedicated to Artemis, specifically in her form of “Orthia” which is the Greek word for “standing.
