Founded as a colony by Korinth to make trade easier in Makedonia, Potidaia sought the help of Sparta and Korinth against Athens and their excessive demands, leading to a siege by Athens in 430 BCE. This battle served as a catalyst for the Peloponnesian War.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey

After rescuing several civilians and meeting a man named Natakas, Kassandra was confronted by a member of the Order of the Ancients, demanding her death. After fending off several Persian guards, she departed the village with meet with Natakas.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted – The Horsemen Cometh
