Melissani Cave

Melissani Cave is a cave situated northwest of the village of Sami on the island of Kephallonia. It was dedicated to Pan, the Greek god of the wild.
==History==
In Greek mythology, Kephalos, a figure that the island was named after, hid his spear in the cave after accidentally killing his wife, Prokris. By the 5th century BCE, the half-flooded cave served as a camp for a group of bandits.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – In the Footsteps of Gods
In 431 BCE, a priestess of the local Temple of Zeus requested the misthios Kassandra to look for the spear. After deducing the cave to be its hiding place, Kassandra eliminated the bandits, retrieved the spear and gave it to the priestess. Before exiting the cave, she also found one of the Ainigmata Ostraka within.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Ainigmata Ostraka: Bottomless Lake
