Behind the scenes
The kopis, a weapon in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, is the default weapon used by the Spartan heavy soldiers in the game. Historically, [citation needed] the military leader and historian Xenophon recommended its use for mounted warfare, leading to its being the sidearm of choice for Alexander the Great's cavalry. Although the falcata from pre-Roman Iberia looks similar to a kopis, it is unclear whether it was an Iberian parallel to the Greek weapon or was inspired by it.
