Main Errors : The Λ was not adopted and standartised to every spartan shield till the Peloponnesean war . The spartans didnt call their city Lakedaimonia but the whole region of Sparta from the area of Lakonia , the city was called Sparta by them and the rest of the world . Thermopylae is located near the North Evoian Bay (and at that time compared to now it was even nearer which is why the path was narrow and used by the Spartans in the first place , so what you see is a sea where the Persians land their ships , not a river/lake . The army of Xerxes in Thermopylae was not 1 million(thats an exaggerated myth) but 180000-300000 . Ephialtes was not deformed nor a spartan but from the land of Malis , a region in the borders of Thessaly at the time . Also not a single comment was made for the vambraces that everyone seems to wear in the game . Are we sure that these guys are historians and didnt just saw 300 and said yes now I am qualified to spread my knowledge to the world??

Okay, though fictional, I want to explain something about the First Civilization, which in some other games is known as the Precursor Civilizations. They were a race of god-like beings that were on this planet before any of us, and was the most advanced civilization of all time, including even inventing laser shields. Unfortunately, the fall came when the sun screwed up their inventions basically, and a lot of the cryptic warnings was about a similar event happening again. Adam and Eve, if you go by what was said in the Assassin's Creed 2, were slaves essentially to this civilization..something like that, may have to look that one up again. But yeah..wish they'd do a game specifically on them, but the games just get so vague about them, and that's all we have..

Some points for anyone wandering: Thermopylae was actually at the coast of the Greek world so the "river" was actually the gulf of Malis. The Greco-Persian wars didn't entirly set up for the peloponessian wars. A common mistake is the misunderstanding between the first and second Peloponnesian wars whcih sandwiched the Greco-Persian wars. There was actually a peace treaty that was signed between the Peloponnesian states and the attik area within at the beginning of the Greco-Persian wars. Ephialtes wasn't kicked out of Sparta. This is another misconception that stems from the movie 300. He was a local man from trachis (where the persians set up camp). Everything else from the mythology parts seemed right but these are just things i randomly picked up

The cultists were part of the order of the ancients. the easiest way to describe them were the precursors to the templars many years later which have been portrayed in the assassins creed lore since the start. The rest of the game while set around the Peloponnesian war brought Greek mythology to life under the idea that, in this instance, Alexios or Kassandra are demigods. The came from a lineage that dates back to people who were known as the Isu. They were this ancient yet highly advanced species that lived several millennia before the most ancient human civilizations during what's know as the eponymous era. They created the pieces of Eden which played a part in mythology of many ancient cultures and were sought after by the assassin brotherhood and the templar order/order of the ancients spanning across millennia. on the assassins creed fandom page, it talks about the Isu and who they were and it goes into detail on AC odyssey and how that ties into the assassins creed timeline and the interplay between Greek mythology and assassins creed lore.

@@Harfizz True, i was getting my groups mixed up a little. Yes the cults were not part of the order of the ancients. They wanted to wipe out the bloodline of King Leonidas and take control of greece. It was the Order of the Ancients who were the precursors to the knights templars established during the eighteenth dynasty egypt. ya my bad, i just had some of my wording and groups mixed up a little and totally forgot that the cults were not part of the order of the anceints. it did originally get a little confusing because your dealing with 2 seperate lineages of croups at the same time and can its a little tricky to not overlap them.

Just a tip. If you have your react-ers reading cue cards, put the cards near the camera so that we dont see them looking off to the left every other line... please.

Didn't know two high-school teachers now count as "historians". Would've been more interesting asking PhDs on the topic

it would have been interesting to invite a Greek historian and a Greek archaeologist, they would have put everything back in its rightful place

Hearing them geek out about history is so fucking relatable honestly
