The Arkalochori Axe

The Arkalochori Axe was a Minoan golden-bladed axe engraved with symbols of ritual which was used for ceremonies in the Temple of Poseidon in Heraklion during the Peloponnesian War.

History

At the decree of a man known only as Swordfish, ceremonies using the axe were performed to honor the Greek god of the seas, Poseidon. At some point bandits stole the axe, and a terrified priestess approached the visiting Spartan misthios Kassandra, asking her to retrieve the ceremonial axe and thus appease both Poseidon as well as the Swordfish.[1]

Behind the scenes

The equipped Arkalochori Axe, a weapon in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, shares the same model as the commonly found Golden Axe, another weapon in the same game. These are both the recycled model of the Sahalin Axe, a weapon in Assassin's Creed: Origins, which itself is modelled after the Sahalin from For Honor, a game developed by Ubisoft Montreal. It also bears similarities to the Sepulcher Axe, a weapon in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla.

However, when the axe is found within the Arkalochori Cave, the model used is that of labrys, a double-bladed axe, modelled after the votive double axes found within the cave in 1912 and in 1934, specifically the Arkalochori Axe.
