The Sword of Damokles was one of the Swords of Eden.
History
Created by the Isu scientist Hephaistos during the War of Unification, the Sword of Damokles and other Pieces of Eden like it seemed to grant their bearers great power and leadership, and were later used by influential humans in battle. [citation needed]
By the late 5th century BCE, the artifact had come into the possession of the Cult of Kosmos, an offshoot of the Hermeticists, as well as a precursor group for the Templar Order. The Cult granted the weapon to their champion Deimos, the grandson of King Leonidas of Sparta, as his direct descent from the Isu allowed him to utilize more of the artifact's potential. After Deimos' defeat at the hands of his sister Kassandra, she claimed the artifact.[1]
Owners
- Isu (? – ?)
- Cult of Kosmos (? – ?)
- Deimos (? – c. 422 BCE)
- Kassandra (c. 422 BCE – ?)

| This is the very sword from the story of Damokles. It taught him a lesson in wishing for ultimate fortune. | ||||
Behind the scenes
As the Peloponnesian War predates the eponymous Damokles by almost a century, the sword might have actually been known by another name at the time. Nonetheless, its history is suggested by a mold within the Ancient Forge on the Greek island of Andros. Upon seeing the mold, Kassandra commented about its similarity to the blade wielded by Deimos.
As seems to be the case in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, if Deimos is recruited as a lieutenant aboard the Adrestia, he still wields the blade even though Kassandra has it. This is also the case with Darius and the Pride of the Lion, as well as Leda and the Hero's Sword.
