Centre island

The game shows Minoan ruins with access to an Isu vault on Thera's centre island. Anyway, would it be worth it to add a trivia point motioning that there would not have been ruins on that island during the time period this game takes place as any towns the Minoans may have built on it would have been long gone. The reason is that the centre island was/is the center of the caldera of the Thera volcano, and the island and any settlements on it would have essentially been erased off the map during the Minoan eruption about 1000 years before. The newly formed island that exists today may not have even existed yet (at least above sea surface level) at the time of the Peloponnesian War. The Cat Master (talk) 17:42, October 17, 2018 (UTC)

Odyssey vs Origins

This is an ongoing discussion.

How do we wanna handle Origins (correctly) mentioning Thera was not uninhabited since the eruption given the plaque in Cyrene being founded as a Theran colony in 7th century BCE? As it is this page kind of contradicts the articles on Battos Aristottle and Cyrene. I think we should remove explicit mentions of the island being uninhabited from the main body and relegate its depiction in Odyssey to the behind the scenes.
