- "Barnabas told me about The Arena. I should give it a go."
- ―Kassandra[src]
The Pephka Arena was a gladiatorial arena located in a cove in the Pirate Point region of Pephka, Greece.
History[edit | edit source]
Following the end of the Greco-Persian Wars, Maion established the Arena together with his friend Skoura. While Maion served as the announcer and the face of the Arena, Skoura fought there.[1]
Throughout the decades the Arena was widely popular, attracting both spectators and fighters throughout Greece. Occasionally, Maion and Skoura sent out letters to notable mercenaries, like Talos the Stone-Fist.[1] The Arena also drew in Belos, a famous Spartan champion and a member of the Heroes of the Cult branch of the Cult of Kosmos.[2]
Outside the entrance to the Arena proper was a monument for the ruling five heroes of the Arena.[3]
Around 431 BCE, the Spartan misthios Kassandra learned of the arena after finding an invitation on the corpse of Talos, a mercenary hired to kill her. Kassandra subsequently participated in the arena's challenges during the Peloponnesian War, meeting both Maion and Skoura.[1]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- In The Art of Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, the place is simply called the 'Battle Arena'. Instead of Maion and Skoura, however, it is connected to Xenia.
