Description
This is something I drew for an upcoming Latin class project. It's a depiction of an ancient Greek/Roman myth as it may be interpreted in the Assassin's Creed universe.
------------
After not being invited to a party, Eris, the goddess of chaos, decides to have a little fun and crash the party. After stealing an Apple of Eden from a lab, she offered to give it to whoever was the fairest lady at the party. Juno, wanting the Apple's power for her own personal gain, desperately wants the Apple. Minerva, mortified to see such a powerful weapon in the hands of an obnoxious little brat like Eris, is desperate to have it in her hands so that it can be dealt away with safely. And Aphrodite merely want it because, well, look at it. It's so shiny!
The three appointed Jupiter as the judge of their beauty. Jupiter made the wise decision to not risk offending any of the women, and instead assigned the task to a human hybrid named Paris. Juno offered the human power, Minerva offered him wisdom, and Aphrodite offered him a hot chick. ...He chose the hot chick. Go figure.
Aphrodite took Paris to Eden to find who she thought was the perfect girl, another hybrid named Helen. Meanwhile, Eris followed (after escaping the guards by covering them in cotton candy) and decided to have more fun. Thankfully, she met with an angel near Eden, a man named Lucifer, and he secretly helped her start a short-lived human rebellion near Olympus, a conflict that would come to be called the Trojan War. The rebellion was ultimately extinguished, and everyone returned to their lives. Lucifer, however, still had big plans, and he took inspiration from Eris. He snuck an Apple out of storage, smuggled it past Eden’s guard, Gadreel, and gave it to a young hybrid human named Eve.
Eve and her husband, Adam, used the Apple to escape Eden and the control of the Precursors. The revolution they would eventually start with their newly formed brotherhood, the Assassins, would explode into a global war that would change everything. The apocalypse would soon be upon the planet…
Way to go, Eris.

Let me guess? The Woman in the right is Venus or Aphrodite whatever?

Cool! Interesting combination of togas and futuristic armor.
I like Eris' looks, she reminds me of Loki...

What kind of government do you think the Isu had? Or leadership?

Me personally I like the idea that the isu had a royal house made up of Odin, the king of all the gods, and his family from the Norse Pantheon.

So maybe a sort of Royal Technocracy-Scientocracy Monarchy?
When you think about it, the Isu have a lot in common with JRR Tolkien's Elves from Legendarium. Both are/was graceful, long-lived, slow to reproduce species that tends to lord it over humanity.
It's just in this case, the Isu use humans as a workforce while the Elves just... kind of dicks to humans.

I mean, I would say enslaving a species counts as being kinda dickish too XD I dive a bit into my headcanons regarding the isu in later chapters of Aphelion.
And I've not read LotR though it's on my list of films to find the time to watch

Eh. True.
(I am wanting to use the Isu Nation for a ISOT/Map game on Alternate History Discussion, but there is such large gaps for information like government, or leadership needed, or before the War between the Humans and Isu. Thinking over to the stuff in Eastern Africa such Eden would be there, and Origins)

For Aphelion, I just kinda make the assumption that most mythological cities/places are just located around the region where the religion originates from. So Asgard is somewhere in Scandanavia and Mount Olympus is... well... Mount Olympus XD

Hm. That's help.
Either way, I think I am going to cheat, and try to have Eden as the capital as to have as many 'Big Names' Isu to be in the ISOT area. ( Tanzania and Kenya. Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt.)

Thank youuuu!! ^^ <3
lol, funny story. When my Latin teacher saw this, he said I would be able to enter this to a state Latin project contest, if it weren't for the fact that it's all futuristic-y and not classical.

So Lucifer in the AC universe is the good guy? I don't really know much of the ancient history of the AC universe. Awesome art by the way, especially Eris's smugness.

No, I'd imagine that Lucifer would definitely be a bad guy, seeing as how he long's for the destruction of life on Earth.
Thanks, by the way.
