In 431 BCE, the Spartan misthios Kassandra came to the Pnyx, where she met with Herodotos. The historian then introduced her to Perikles, a statesman who was giving a speech to the gathered citizens.[1]
Later, sometime between 424 and 422 BCE, Kassandra and her friend and philosopher, Sokrates, organized a performance at the Pnyx to encourage the Athenians to vote against Kleon's efforts to put the entire population of Mytileneans to death.[2]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The depiction of the Pnyx in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey is accurately based on Phase I of the real Pnyx, which was present during the game's timeframe.[3][4]
