Minerva ( Athena ) wise and bold, patron of the heroes their helper and guide. Juno ( Hera ) jealous and vengeful, cares only for her own interest. Jupiter ( Zeus ) King of the Gods, almighty and invincible. Quetzalcoatl the creator of the calendar.

Minerva addresses Desmond through Ezio

Juno addresses Desmond directly, she is constantly warning and tauting Desmond as he makes his way to the apple in the temple. She is known to the Romans as the Goddess who warns of danger. In the Greek Mythology she is often jealous and vengeful ( Juno along with Minerva and Aphrodite went to Paris and asked him to choose the most beautiful of them all, Paris was supposed to give the Goddess of his choice and Apple. He gave it to Aphrodite and in rage Hera cursed him and his Kingdom ( Troy ) ). Perhaps this could be the Origin of the Apples. She is supposed to be jealous and sensing that Desmond likes Lucy, she made Desmond stab her to keep her out of the picture and instead find a woman with the other half of the genetic code.

In the next game we could encounter either Aphrodite or Zeus, well Zeus is the more probable option because he was the King and the three together (Minerva, Juno, Zupiter )were worshipped as a Triad. Also the statue of Zeus was one of the wonders of the ancient world, which hasn’t been found, so i guess it would be pretty cool to locate that. The statue on its thumb is said to possess another statue of Winged Victory to which all of Zeus’s triumph’s are attributed to. That could be an all powerful object that the Templars and Assassins search for.

There is also an allusion to Quetzalcoatl in AC II in the puzzles, To The Aztecs Quetzalcoatl was a creator deity having contributed essentially to the creation of Mankind.He was known as the inventor of books and the calendar and sometimes as a symbol of death and resurrection. As the Brotherhood ends in Spain and the Spainiards are the ones who reach the new world, that of the Aztecs and war broke out sometime in June 1520 and also the Mayans the creators of the Calendar which ends at 12-21-2012.
