Greece

Greece is a country in southeastern Europe.

Pythagoras and Kyros
During the sixth century BCE, the famous scholar Pythagoras and his disciple Kyros of Zarax lived in Samos, a small town in Greece, where Pythagoras became a well respected man by discovering the Tetractys.

A few years later, they moved to Croton, where Pythagoras founded his own academy to teach young scholars everything he knew. However, tension in Croton started rising and Pythagoras and Kyros were forced to flee back to Greece after a few years.

Many years later, they traveled through a Greek desert to find Hermes Trismegistus. They eventually found him and he awarded Pythagoras with his staff, starting the Hermeticist traditions.

Kyros then decided to travel to Arcadia, hoping to challenge its princess, Atalanta, to a race and be allowed to marry her. Kyros first traveled to the abandoned temple of Aphrodite, where he found an Apple of Eden. With the help of the ancient artifact, he was able to defeat Atalanta.

Renaissance
During the time of the Italian Renaissance, the Assassins and Templars fought a war for the Mediterranean area, including Rhodes.
