Notes and references
- ↑ According to the novel, Kassandra has experienced 7 summers by winter 451 BCE. This can actually mean that she is 6-years-old rather than 7 when she is thrown off Mt. Taygetos if her first summer was her first year alive. However, Rebellion simply states she is 7-years-old during the event.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Assassin's Creed: Rebellion – Bio: Kassandra
According to her bio in Rebellion, Kassandra is 7-years-old when she and Alexios are thrown off Mt. Taygetos. No specific dates are given, but if we were to put this info with the novel's dating of the fall, she would have been born in 458 BCE. - ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 3.6 Novel. Prologue, p. 1
- ↑ Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – A Mother's Prayers
According to the memory, Kassandra was reunited with her mother 17 years after being thrown off Mt. Taygetos with her brother. Alexios appears to be less than 1-year-old at the time of his fall. - ↑ If we use the game's dating of the fall off Mt. Taygetos, it would mean Alexios is only 17 years old when Kassandra reunites with her mother, but he already appears as a fully grown adult by this point, so the game's date must be wrong.
- ↑ Novel. Chapter 6, p. 117.
- ↑ Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – A Mother's Prayers
- ↑ If we use the year 428 BCE as the date of the reunion, going by Perikles' historical death in 429 BCE and the novel dating the reunion to a year after his death.
- ↑ Novel. Chapter 11, p. 223
- ↑ Using the game's dating of the event would mean Alexios is only 17 years old when Kassandra reunites with Myrinne on Naxos and even a few years younger when they meet in the Cave of Gaia, so the game's date has to be wrong.
- ↑ Novel. Chapter 1, p. 15
- ↑ 12.0 12.1 12.2 12.3 12.4 Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – So It Begins
- ↑ 13.0 13.1 Based on novel's sequence of events and Perikles' historical death in 429 BCE. See "Start of story".
- ↑ 14.0 14.1 14.2 According to Wikipedia's article on Pericles, he led Athenian forces into Megara in autumn 431 BCE.
- ↑ 15.0 15.1 Novel. Chapter 1, p. 9
A date of 430 BCE is necessary to synchronize with Perikles' historical death in 429 BCE going by the novel's sequence of events. However, this sacrifices alignment with Perikles' historical invasion of the Megarid in 431 BCE. The Peloponnesian War is also described to have begun earlier in the year; historically, it began in 431 BCE. - ↑ I prefer this date to align with the starting date given in the game's opening scene and the year which Perikles historically led a force into the Megarid. A deciding reason, though, is that the novel's timeline breaks apart in the latter half, rendering it unreliable.

- ↑ 18.0 18.1 18.2 Novel. Chapter 5, p. 91
- ↑ According to Wikipedia's article on Pericles, he led Athenian forces into Megara in autumn 431 BCE.
- ↑ Novel. Chapter 4, p. 82
On page 68, Kassandra is described as working for a month to earn the Spartan army's favour, but Nikolaos later says that she followed them for "months". - ↑ 21.0 21.1 Novel. Chapter 5, p. 88
- ↑ Novel. Chapter 6, p. 126.
The year is not specified, but context implies it is still within the same year as the visit to Delphi. - ↑ Novel. Chapter 6, p. 130.
In the novel, Deimos confronts Kassandra at Thermopyale, not on Andros. However, he deduces that she is heading toward Athens, which would mean that she had been sailing in southwardly direction when she anchored off Thermopylae.
