Around 429 BCE, he made the acquaintance of the Spartan ''[[Mercenary\|misthios]]'' [[Kassandra]], tasking her to retrieve the military seals of [[Athens\|Athenian]] ''[[Strategos\|strategoi]]''.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – [[Ambition]]</ref>

			Lysander is a historical character appearing in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'', set during the first part of the Peloponnesian War.

	~~==Behind the scenes==~~		Historically, Lysander was not known to be a major participant in the war until the later half of its second part, as he would have likely been too young at the time for a position of command. The game also portrays him as a polemarch when the real Lysander was famous for being a navarch. While some historians have described Lysander as a helot, only his mother was supposedly a helot, as his father was a Spartan aristocrat.
	~~The name~~ Lysander ~~is [[Greece\|Greek]]~~ in ~~origin~~, ~~derived from~~ the ~~name [https://en~~.~~wiktionary~~.~~org/wiki/%CE%9B%CF%8D%CF%83%CE%B1%CE%BD%CE%B4%CF%81%CE%BF%CF%82 Λυσανδρος] (''Lysandros'') which means 'release of man'~~.
