==Behind the scenes==
The Erechtheion is a landmark in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, situated on the Akropolis Sanctuary. The temple is an anachronism in the game as construction of the temple only began in 421 BCE, a year after the game's conclusion, and completed in 406 BCE.
The model of the Porch of the Caryatids was also used by level artist Kevin Kok in Assassin's Creed: Origins for an unnamed place of worship in the poor district of Alexandria.
It is also reused as a statue of Helena in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla.
