Cave of Mt. Zas

The Cave of Mt. Zas was a cavern located below Mount Zas on the Greek island of Naxos.
The cave had three entrances: one near the Fort of the Aloades, one opening to the bay, and one near the temple of Demeter. In Greek mythology, the cave was one of the many places on Naxos Island that was said to have been important in the youth of the god Zeus.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Naxos: Cave of Mt.Zas

==History==
In 429 BCE, the cave was used by the Cult of Kosmos as a base of operations in preparation for an assassination attack on Myrrine, the obligarch of Naxos. After learning of this possible attack, Aspasia, persuading Myrrine, sent the Spartan misthios Kassandra to investigate the cave and eliminate the assassins.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Death and Disorder At the same time, she also recovered an Ainigmata Ostraka in the shrine within.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Ainigmata Ostraka: Stubborn Mule
