Gortyn Code

The Gortyn Code was a piece of legislation inscribed on a stele in the city-state of Gortyn in Messara, Greece.

History[edit | edit source]

Inscribed in the 5th century BCE, the legislation regulated Gortynian civil life, which included the management of family affairs affecting inheritance, divorce, adoption and widowhood.[1]

During the Peloponnesian War, the stele was visited by the Spartan misthios Kassandra.[2] It was also frequented by Ptolemaios, who had a task for the misthios.[3]

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • While the stele in-game does contain writing, it uses the Greek lorem ipsum used throughout Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, instead of replicating the actual text.
