	The name of Skylax, a character in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'', is most likely derived from the Ancient Greek words [[wikt:σκύλος\|σκύλος]] ( ''skúlos'') meaning 'skin, hide' or [https://books.google.fi/books?id=wbO7bralsRQC&pg=PA144&lpg=PA144&dq=%CF%83%CE%BA%CF%85%CE%BB%CE%B5%CF%8D%CF%89+meaning&source=bl&ots=AQvrgeyCp4&sig=CjMOUtvPZS_94iKXba6WXy1WLY8&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiCmPWog43eAhWOiKYKHZyOC-MQ6AEwAHoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=%CF%83%CE%BA%CF%85%CE%BB%CE%B5%CF%8D%CF%89%20meaning&f=false σκυλεύω] (''skyleuo'') which means 'to get the spoils of war', also used specifically of stripping the armor and gear off of the fallen enemy. In modern Greek [[wikt:σκύλαξ\|σκύλαξ]] (''skúlax'') means 'young dog, puppy'.

	If Athens controls Abantis Islands while Skylax remains alive, he hides in the forest of [[Artemision Point]] in [[Euboea]] and with either just a few or no guards around, making his assassination relatively easy. Players should note that, even though he is no longer the region's leader in this scenario, having any witnesses to his assassination (including other guards) will still incur a two-to-three helmet bounty for "killing a leader."
