Spear of Kephalos

The Spear of Kephalos was a spear which was believed to have belonged to Kephalos, a figure in Greek mythology whom the island of Kephallonia was named after.
==History==
According to stories, the gods gave Kephalos the spear, said to never miss. One day while out hunting, Kephalos accidentally killed his wife Prokris after mistaking her for a deer. Driven with guilt and shame, Kephalos hid in the spear in the Melissani Cave.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – In the Footsteps of Gods In some versions of the myth, Europa was given the spear by Zeus before it ended up in the hands of Kephalos.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – From the Heart
The stories of the spear were later passed down through generations, and by 431 BCE, a priestess from the Temple of Zeus in the village of Sami sought to recover the spear and use it to lure in pilgrims. To do that, she requested that the misthios Kassandra look for the spear in a cave north of the sanctuary. Kassandra managed to find it precisely where the priestess believed it was located though not without having to kill bandits camped in the cave.

==Behind the scenes==
The Spear of Kephalos, a weapon in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, shares the same model as the commonly found Pilum, another weapon in the same game. These are both the recycled model of the Iron Spear, a weapon in Assassin's Creed: Origins.
