The Gorgon Disk was an Isu artifact which was used to gain access to the Petrified Temple, housing the Writhing Dread on the Greek island of Lesbos.
History[]
Kept within the Petrified Temple itself, the Daughters of Artemis who trained in the Petrified Valley discovered the disk at some point in a 'pit full of snakes', according to a story. They took the artifact to their village on Chios, and hid it in a cave nearby.[1] Guarded by both their members as well as bears, the disk was kept safe from prying eyes until the Spartan misthios Kassandra claimed it in the 420s BCE.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
Like the other 'keys' to the Olympos Project lairs in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, the Gorgon Disk bears a resemblance to the Phaistos Disc. However, instead of the symbols being arranged in a spiral, the version in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey has them in two distinct wheels, around a center with a stylized group of snakes.
The files for the game also have it under the unused name Antissa Disk; Antissa being a city on Lesbos.
