Phaistos Village

Phaistos Village (Ancient Greek: Φαιστός) is a site in the Greek island of Krete. In classical antiquity, it was located in Minos' Legacy region of Messara.
==History==
Formerly a polis, Phaistos was largely destroyed by the neighboring city, Gortyn, which coveted the former's territory. It was also known for having the second largest Minoan palace on the island (after Knossos Palace), where the Phaistos Disk was found in 1908.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Messara: Phaistos Village
Coveted by Gortyn, Phaistos sought to make peace with its neighbour during the Peloponnesian War. This attempt was foiled by Ptolemaios, aided by the Spartan misthios Kassandra.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Gortyn Out of Hand
Around the same time, Phaistos Village was also targeted by the Cult of Kosmos, who made the local theater their base.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Full Circle
