- "I learned about the Code of Gortyn in the agoge as a child."
- ―Kassandra upon visiting the stele, 420s BCE[src]
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.
