Ever since the first released back in 2007, has used history as its tool to help tell the story of the series. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Multiple eras of history and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:historical figures can be met throughout the ga🐟me, and Odyssey is no exception to this rule with its ancient Gre🍸ece setting.
Set during tಞhe first half of the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta, the game has a mostly accurate depiction of Greece♍ at the time and the people that inhabit it. However, there are some differences between what happens in the game and what actually happened, at least according to what documents survived the era.
10 Kausos Was Never A City On Kephallonia 💜
The game starts on the island of Kephallonia, an island that is mostly out of the way of the war. While on the island, Kassandra or Alexios (depending on who you choose to play as) will have to deal with a blood plague that has ravaged the village of Kausos — which leads to one of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the game's toughest decisions. However, Kausos was never actually a city on Keph🧔allonia🌃.
According to historians, most people at th๊e time lived in one of four cities on the island, those being Krani, Pale, Pronni, and Sami, the last of which is in the game. None of them seem to have been Ka🍒usos though.
9 🔴 Brasidas Was At The Battle Of Megara
Brasidas was a Spartan general who pl𒉰ayed a major part in the first half of the Peloponnesian War. He was hailed as a true Spartan general and is shown ಞa number of times in important battles in the game. One of those is the battle of Megara, which he is not shown partaking in during the game.
After leaving Kephallonia, the Eagle Bearer goes to Megara to deal with their father, who is a Spartan general. They help the Spartans in Megara in order to get close enough to their father. Brasidas, though, is not encountered here despite actually having been at this battle. Brasidas is not encountered until 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Kassandra/Alexios encounters them in Korinth.
8 The Game Ignor🍒es The Peace Of 🃏Nicias
Though the game covers the toll the war takes on al🥀l of ancient Greece, it does not cover the truce that ended the first half of the war: the Peace of Nicias.
The truce happened after the battle of Amphipolis, which is seen toward the end of the game. The peace was only made possible after the deaths of Brasidas and Athenian leader Kleon, who were not interested in peace at all. With trying to stop 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Cult of Kosmos from keeping ꦡthe war going, it is odd that the game wouldn't cover the Peace of Nicias.
7 The Game Ignores The Capture Of Spartans After The Battle Of P💎ylos
Another major battle in the game is the battle of Pylos. This sees Kassandra/Alexios fight on the side of Sparta as they try to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:stop and possibly assassinate their long-lost sibling, Deimos. The Eagle Bearer is then knocked🥀 out by a falling tree and is capturedꦰ by the Athenians before waking up in a jail in Athens.
They seem to be the only person in this prison, which is odd, as the aftermath of the battle explains that 420 Spartans were captured. While it may not seem like a lot, the fact that this was not shown or even mentioned in the game is a bit stra🐓nge.
6 Lysander Would Have 🤪Been Too Young To Lead During The Game's Event
Lysander is a Spartan officer in the game to whom Kassandra/Alexios ca♔n give Athenian polemarch seals in exchange for re𒉰wards. He was also the general who won the war for Sparta during the second half of the conflict.
However, he would have been too young to have been an officer during the first half of the conflict. Plus the game seems to hint he played a m🐓ajor part in the first half of the war, which he did not.
5 Alkibiades Was More Than Just Comic Relief 💞
Oh, Alkibiades. From the get-go, he is introduced as being quite thജe character. The guy is obsessed with partying and pleasing Aphrodite as often as possible, which kind of contradicts how he actually was.
He was renowned for being a skilled statesman, orator, and general. Knowing this, it makes sense that someone would try to poison him during the Olympics in the game. Much like Lysander, he was more active in the second half of the Peloponnesian War than in the first half. He did act the way he does in the game, but it wasn't all there was to 𒈔him.
4 ✃ Perikles' Sons Are Never Seen Or Mentioned
Perikles is described in-game as the father of democracy and plays a major role in the game during the first part of the game. Perikles d✱id have children that are not seen in the game.
Historically he loved his sons with all his heart and was devastated whﷺen two of them, Paralus and Xanthippus, died of the plague that struck Athens. He was never the same. The fact that Odyssey would overlook s🦄omething like this is strange, to say the least.
3 Aspasia And Perikles Were More Intim🔯ate Than The Game Shows
Aspasia is shown in Odyssey to be an influential person in Athens and ancient Greece, which ties into how she actually was in real life. She is shown to be an advisor to Perikles, and they seem to be close friends. But, their actual relationship was way more ꦓintimate than what we see in the game.
Though their exact marital status is unknown, the two did𒅌 have a son and illegitimate child together — that being Pericles the Younger. As important as Aspasia is to the game's pꩲlot, it is strange that the game overlooks something like this.
2 So🙈crates Does Not Seem To Live In Poverty, Despite History Saying He Did 🦩
Socrates is one of history's most well-known philosophers whose ideas still live on to this day. This is shown in the game, and his overall status is captured perfectly in Odyssey, except for☂ one detail.
Though much is not known about him aside from what others have written, one common thread about Socrates is that he is described as living in poverty, having tattered clothes and bare feet. Though he lacks sandals in the game, he does not wear tattered clothing n💧or does he seem to live in poverty as he is seen at a symposium hosted by Perikles — something held for society's elite.
1 ༒ Leonidas Didn't Fight With Just 300 Spartans At Thermopylae
The veꦜry beginning of Odyssey showcases King Leonidas and his 300 Spartans fighting the Per✤sians at the battle of Thermopylae during the second Persian invasion of Greece. Leonidas was heavily outnumbered, and it is a common misconception that it was just him and his 300 Spartans against Persia. However, he did have more help than that.
Though the Spartans were still heavily outnumbered, ꦚ. It's just too bad that the real version sounds more anticlimactic than the other version, since it does not give credit to the non-Spartans that sacrificed themselves for Greece's freedom from Persia.
