By the Peloponnesian War, Penelope was largely remembered in stories. A piece of the shroud she had woven had also survived and ended up in the hands of Elpenor, a member of the Eyes of Kosmos branch of the Cult of Kosmos. However, he claimed bandits had stolen it from him and taken it to their hideout within the ruins of Odysseus' Palace on the island of Ithaka.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Fancy Guests After meeting the misthios Kassandra in 431 BCE, Elpenor tasked her to retrieve the shroud.
