Mace of the Sphinx
The Mace of the Sphinx was a mace inscribed with indecipherable, yet curiously familiar runes in the possession of the Sphinx within the Ruined Temple in Boeotia.
During the Peloponnesian War, the Spartan misthios Kassandra faced the Sphinx and as a reward for correctly answering her riddles, Kassandra received the Mace of the Sphinx.[1]

Behind the scenes
The Mace of the Sphinx, a weapon in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, shares the model with the more commonly found Morning Star, another weapon in the same game. They are both recycled from the Bone-Cracker, a weapon in Assassin's Creed: Origins, which itself was apparently based on a mace from Roman Egypt dated to 30 B.C.–A.D. 364 which is now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with accession number "15.2.6a, b".[2]
Despite the description, no runes or symbols are present in the model of the weapon.
