It’s been a whole day since Assassins Creed Odyssey finally released to the world. It’s been a great time for love and laughter as players discover the joy of playing Alexios or Kassandra. But there is just one problem: Assassins Creed Odyssey misthios. Look at the sentence again. For those who have yet to play the game, you may be wondering, just like everyone else, what does ‘misthios’ actually mean?
Even in the first ten minutes of Assassins Creed Odyssey, you get absolutely smothered with Ancient Greek terminology. Phrases like ‘malaka’, ‘chaire’ and ‘misthios’ are thrown around, but half the time there’s no real explanation on what it means. Depending on what you’re like as a person, this may be particularly frustrating, or if you’re like me, you don’t really care and just want to smack some people around.
That said, curiosity is obviously going to get the better of you. You’re going to want to know what these Greek phrases mean. It’s to be expected, this game is set in Ancient Greece after all, and it’s why we’re here to help.
Assassins Creed Odyssey Misthios: What Does Misthios Mean?
Whether you play as Kassandra or Alexios, you’re going to be called ‘misthios’ a lot in the game. Granted, you can probably already figure out what the word is, considering how many people call you it, but we’ll tell you anyway. ‘Misthios’ means ‘mercenary’.
Shocked? Surprised? Disappointed? According to history, ‘misthios’ is a Greek term that means ‘employer for hire‘ or ‘hired servant’. You’ll be doing a lot of work for people all over the world in Assassins Creed Odyssey, so it does fit Kassandra and Alexios nicely. Whether they would agree with that assessment… Well, it depends on how you play the two.
