Kratos: Did He Really Exist in Greek Mythology? – Mythological Curiosities – God of War

God of war game is just fan fiction, to make kratos looks like super.😂 In real mythology his nothing more than worker of Zuess.

yeah but he did like nothing i think he helped arrest the guy whos liver is eaten by a eagle

All hail Kratos!

I absolutely love the thumbnail of Kratos attacking Poseidon and Thor is like this is not what I signed up for

Does anyone know the name of the songs used in the video up above?

If anyone knows the name of the songs please post the link to them so I can listen to them and download the songs too.

It's been said that when designing a character for the first God of War game, the name "Kratos" was picked purely because it sounded cool and the connection to the mythological Kratus was pure coincidence.

However, if I could go back and rewrite the stories of the God of War greek saga games, I'd include references to it as a subplot. I'd introduce the idea that if certain Greek Characters die, they eventually get reincarnated in a new form.
We know from God of War 2 and 3, that part of the story is Gaia trying to manipulate Kratos to free the titans so that they can overthrow Zeus – that's the end-game.
What better way to do that, than to gaslight Kratos into thinking he's one of them?

Kratus, among his siblings, were four of Zeus' most loyal servants. But we all see from the games how loyalty to Zeus is returned. I imagine that at some point before Kratos' birth, Zeus tricks Kratus – double-crossing him and having him murdered.
This would greatly upset Kratus' parents – Pallas and Styx. Long after Kratos is born, and becomes a very powerful Spartan Warrior, maybe even the God of War, the two have an epiphany about him…A mortal having shown such strength, that he is the living embodiment of power.
They become convinced that Kratos is their son, reincarnated. They try to convince him otherwise and even seek to welcome him into their family…Unfortunately, this would happen either before or after the events of Ghost of Sparta – Kratos has lost his real family, and wants nothing to do with any Olympian anymore.

I feel like this would plant the seed in Kratos mind – if he is Kratus reborn, then he is a titan, and he was betrayed by Zeus even in a past life. Gaia of course knows the truth, but lets this seed cultivate into something more – it serves her purpose in cultivating Kratos' hatred for the gods, making him easier to manipulate.

Hail Cratus!

So the god of strength/power is kinda like Zeus's hitman.

I always wondered what kratos would look like with hair

What about the spartan soldier Kratos in the Iliad who ran hades through with a spear?

It makes a lot more sense why they based the creation of GoW Kratos on the mythology kratos
You can see a lot of similarities and how they twisted it and tuned to fit the story works very well

How many times are people just gonna spread this misinformation.
Kratos and Cratos both coexist.
They already said the name is just a coincidence… they're not the same person and Kratos isn't based on Cratos.

anyone know the name of the background music?

In the thumbnail thor looks mortified at Karlos killing posiden lol

So Mythology Cratos is Zeus Cousin

Actually Kratos(Cratos) in Greek means "country's government" and he is the personification of brutal and ruthless strength of a government

Mythology Kratos: “Who are you?”
The Kratos we know: “I’m you, but better.”

GoW Kratos is way more badass and way more interesting than the real kratos

This has “Was Ezio a real person?“ vibes to it.

Felt weird that in modern day, the GOW Kratos seems to be way more revered than the actual mythos Kratos (whom I have NEVER KNOW who he actually was until GOW is a thing and I was a fan of Greek Myth)

I actually wish they made another god movie like clash of the Titans or Percy Jackson that will mention the real kratos from Greek mythology

Is asura's wrath depict multiple religions including ancient aliens, Gaia, and numerous cultures? A lot of ancient knowledge is flat out redacted or drip fed these days

Its Kratos – Creatus (a Demon God) symbol of power ..it is equal to god of war….but god of war is Mars (Ares)

No, he didn't exist. Considering GOW Kratos was a demigod sired by Zeus who became a God. I'd say no, because Kratos in myth was parented by an aspect and a titan.
