All I know about Alcibiades comes from Assassin's Creed Odyssey. That should be reliable history, right? The game presents him as a beautiful, oversexed, Machiavelli/Loki character. He practices upon our country bumpkin hero's credulousness relentlessly.
It's worth noting that Odyssey takes more creative liberties with historical data than the other AC games since there's less information on Ancient Greece (notably this is explicitly pointed out in-game).
On the other hand it is also worth noting that the game gets a lot of the non-game details surprisingly right. The ancient Greek environment are great - e.g. the architecture, sculptures, decorations, historical locations, etc. They even have a touring mode where you can learn the history of the locations (though I have not tried it yet) Its a great game to wander around in and sightsee. If it gets you to look up the actual history of the fun characters you meet that’s just a bonus.
Perhaps that’s another good thread for HN - games as a repository of history. Or maybe the gamification of history education.
I’ll stop hijacking Alcibiades‘ thread now...
