			In the mid-5th century BCE, after managing to find his way into the vault, Pythagoras spent the next few decades researching the Gateway, including its connection to the [[Staff of Hermes Trismegistus]] he had in his possession. By the time of the [[Peloponnesian War]], he had figured out a way to seal the Gateway and prevent the secrets of Atlantis from being misused by others, in particular the [[Cult of Kosmos]]. After meeting his daughter, the ''[[Mercenary\|misthios]]'' [[Kassandra]], he tasked her to secure the four [[Atlantis artifact\|relics]] required to seal the vault.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – [[A Family's Legacy]]</ref>

			Upon doing so, the vault projected a holographic map of the [[Earth]] and played a series of recorded messages from the Isu [[Aletheia]], who spoke about the history of her race and [[Olympos Project\|Project Olympos]], in which the Atlantis artifacts had originally been used. Aletheia also addressed Pythagoras directly, asking him to relinquish the Staff, and acknowledged that [[Layla Hassan\|someone]] in the distant future was experiencing Kassandra's [[Genetic memory\|memories]] through the [[Animus]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – [[The Gates of Atlantis]]</ref>

			===Modern times===
			In 2018, the [[Assassins\|Assassin]] [[Layla Hassan]] discovered the Gateway's location after reliving Kassandra's memories in the Animus, and subsequently accessed the vault by swimming through the underwater caverns. Inside, she met Kassandra, still alive thanks to the Staff of Hermes in her possession. Claiming that Layla was the "Heir of Memories" destined to restore the balance between order and chaos, Kassandra relinquished the Staff to her after warning Layla about the dangers of the [[Piece of Eden\|Pieces of Eden]] and telling her to destroy them all.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – [[21st century conversations#Assassin's Creed: Odyssey\|Modern day]]</ref>
