Erinna was a Korinthian hetaera who worked under Anthousa during the Peloponnesian War.

Biography[edit | edit source]

Erinna rose to be one of the hetaerae closest to Anthousa, and meanwhile befriended another Korinthian hetaera, Kleio. They tended to pray together in the mornings, even after The Monger's threat to take over all of Korinth became more than just words.[1][2]

Withdrawing to Akrokorinth, Anthousa sensed that Erinna was troubled, and when her path crossed that of the Spartan misthios Kassandra, Anthousa suggested the mercenary help Erinna, among others.[1]

After Kleio failed to show up for morning prayer, Erinna went out to look for her in Bellerophron's Garden. There she met one of their clients, who told her that he had seen Kleio earlier, with pirates kidnapping her and taking her aboard their ship. Following this, Erinna met Kassandra and welcomed her help. Together, they made their way to the Port of Lechaion just in time to see a pirate trireme leaving the harbor, and Erinna remained on the pier while Kassandra used her own ship, the Adrestia, to chase the pirates. Once Kassandra found out what had happened to Kleio, she returned and reported to Erinna.[2]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]

Erinna, a character in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, shares her name with a famous Greek poetess of antiquity.

In the game's novelization, Erinna helps Kassandra and Brasidas kill the Monger in his warehouse along with another hetaera, Roxana.[3]
