I think kratos is able to kill gods in the prequel because of his nature as a demigod, the reason he needed the box is because ares was just too strong for his current state, and the box either gave him a power boost, or it unlocked his true godly potential, or it could possibly have been the journey for the box is what made him strong enough

[@loganandreassen2821]

Just to add two cents here, even though I haven’t played most of the games(cept 1, 2, and bit of GOS) I figured he was able to kill gods because some of his weapons like Zeus’s gauntlet having lots of power behind it.

[@inyourwifi]

15:18 A thing that I wanna note that you missed is that in Ancient Greece, at least from a source I've seen, killing your family was a MASSIVE taboo, one that the gods took very seriously. So the idea of Ares orchestrating Kratos to kill his family could also be considered inaccurate. Edit: Yes, Hera kinda did the same thing with Heracles, driving him mad temporarily so he'd kill his wife and three children (very messed up). And never smote Medea despite the *copious* amount of familicide she committed (I theorize because it was either to help Jason, or to punish him after he broke his oaths) but in the perspective of Ancient Greecians, she likely gets leeway because marriage and family *is* her domain, so what she says goes. Whereas Ares has no claim in said domain, so I would think this stunt woulda pissed Hera off something fierce. Especially considering no one really likes Ares that much.

[@eden4279]

Well he wouldn't be the first god to do so. As in the original myth of Heracles, Hera once drove Heracles insane and made him kill his family too, so I'd consider it plausible...

[@Alexander59059]

It would be neat if some of the surviving Greek gods tried hunting down Kratos in the Norse games. I have no clue how Kratos actually managed to hop mythologies, but if he could do it I imagine the other gods could too.

[@derrickhaggard]

The next game after the Norse games according to rumors is supposed to be either Kratos or Atreus heading to Egyptian Mythology and seeing Kratos or Atreus team-up with Bastet to stop Set and later in a future game Apophis would be awesome. And before those "fans" state Bastet wouldn't make sense as Kratos or Atreus's companion in games set in Egyptian Mythology because she never fought at all aren't familiar with Egyptian Myths as many Egyptian Myths state that Bastet who is more often then not portrayed as the younger sister to Sekhmet the lioness goddess of war, healing who was know for having a nasty psychotic temper, and being a massive alcoholic and the half-sister to Horus is the feline goddess of the sun, the moon, fertility/motherhood, perfume, healing, and protection which means one of Bastet's duties is using her pyrokinetic, and cryokinetic powers in combo with her feline fury, and feline speed and agility to protect innocent mortals from all the threaten them, along with being one of the main protectors of Ra during his nighttime voyages through the underworld, and is depicted as being the one who usually slays Apophis, so yeah Bastet can kick ass and fight if need be. Plus since Bastet in the hieroglyphs depicting her victory over Apophis shows her wielding one or two daggers her moveset could revolve her using her daggers in combination with her pyrokinetic powers, and cryokinetic powers, along with various smoke bombs which we could say she created via her knowledge of perfumes since perfumes was one of her domains, along with various healing abilities. Plus since a lot of the myths portray her and Sekhmet as sisters you can easily use that as a way to have Sekhmet as a tragic villainess and 2-phase boss fight with you playing as Kratos or Atreus in Phase 1 and then playing as Bastet for the 2nd and final phase of the fight with the final QTE of the fight resulting Bastet reluctantly killing her sister something she would feel mournful over since she didn't want to fight her sister to begin with it was just something she had no choice but to do.

[@derrickhaggard]

@@Lemongrab3370 Yep I've read the comic and part of his journey took him through Egypt where he encountered Zheuti the mythical Egyptian God of Wisdom who was in the form of a baboon who taught Kratos that any chance of escaping his dark past was futile and that he shouldn't make this journey to the lands in north to escape his dark past but make it to find a new home and come to terms and accept his dark past and try to better then he once was.

[@insaneedoko999]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@derrickhaggardI’ve heard of that actually and honestly it’d be the most awesome path to take, though the only thing I want is a reason for Kratos to even leave the 9 realms and head to Egypt. I honestly think it’d be an Atreus game as it seems that his story may not be fully finished yet just like Kratos’ and yet I wouldn’t mind seeing Kratos either team up with Anubis or fight him. It’d be amazing to see that happen, though your idea is the coolest take ever and I hope a similar approach to Bastet is done in the next God Of War game

[@yesmansam6686]

[@zombies5100]

Just some things I'd like to point out in the Inaccuracies When Kratos climbs out of the underworld in god of war 1, I like to believe he DID have permission from Hades, as we are told earlier on that Hades is actively against what Ares is doing, thus I could see this as a viable reason for Hades to grant Kratos permission to leave the underworld so that he can finish the task the gods set out for him, hence why we also don't encounter Cerberus, since Kratos was given permission, it had no reason to try and stop Kratos. In god of war 2, I believe the reason Hermes doesn't show up to bring Kratos to the underworld is because Hades is already kinda doing that as we speak, so what would be the point in Hermes doing it if Hades is already doing it himself? Plus with how important Kratos was in the story itself it would make sense Hades would want to PERSONALLY collect kratos himself. Also in god of war 2, the barbarian king did state he fought his way THROUGH the guardians of hades...so there WAS a measure of resistance in stopping him...how he got through however...this could be a bit of a stretch, but perhaps after seeing the barbarian kings will to escape, and the solid fact that it was the same barbarian king that almost put Kratos down many years ago, I think it makes sense Hades possibly gave him permission to leave in exchange for him to hunt down Kratos and kill him so that Hades could reclaim his soul again, I know it's a bit of a stretch but hey it would make sense to me Also also in god of war 2, the reason perseus was younger looking than theseus may be because Kratos rode upon the steeds of time...yes this is a VERY VERY big stretch...but possibly the steeds of time took Kratos BACK in time many generations during his search for the fates...again I know it's a stretch but...I don't care just a thought to try and explain a possible reason why so-so happened.

@@luisykw5867 it's not like Hera wanted to get away from zeus in the myth. She wanted to be the queen and that's the reason she married to him in the first place even though zeus had a couple of wives before her. Also, drinking won't solve any problems.

Phobos and Deimos' drawings are actually sick and i loved that idea of gigantic neon blades and huge labrys. And yet I thought Phobos was only a horse belonging to an Assassin's Creed protagonist.

Crazy how Harry Potter portrayed the Basilisk more accurately than God of War lol

[@LeoMcShizzle-BadBoySupreme]

Actually, Dionysus became friends with Hephaestus and talked him into freeing Hera because she was getting annoying. Aphrodite was married to Hephaestus because everyone wanted to marry Aphrodite and Zeus was tired of the arguing.

U should do every mythical inaccuracy in Hades. It's a great game, but there are some mistakes suck as Zagreus being someone completely diffrenet in Greek mythology(at least if I remember correctly). Anyways, great video, hope you will keep up the good work:)

I think I remember hearing something about the fates temple stopping aging for those who seek an audience, which would explain why Perseus looks younger then he is, it’s kinda like a being trapped in ice thing where you’re technically older then your body looks

I appreciate when you take the moment to point out that an idea presented in these games is an interesting and cool concept, despite being inaccurate. Like The Labyrinth and the Hecatoncheires Prison.

what I love about mythology-inspired games is how flexible they treat the subject matter. it's INSPIRED by the legends, not exactly retelling them.

[@brantleyowen5814]

I love the videos man! But I have a head cannon about the events in the Greek GOW games. Its a separate timeline to the actual myths and it split when the primordials fought instead of just hung around and that's why this version of Greek myth is different.

Not a bad theory

I believe the Medusa Myth that involves Athena is more based on the Roman version since its mentioned Medusa was born a gorgon in the Greek Mythology.

[@cobaltprime9467]

The Medusa copies could be lesser Gorgons but they’re part of a Gorgon tribe that’s led by the Queen Medusa Kratos kills. They’re simply called Medusa as a whole because of her. The other Gorgon sisters may have their own tribes named after them.

[@aman-gh4dt]

29:42 in some of the graphic novels and normal novels its shown that the Barbarian king became a servant of Hades, just like how Kratos became a servant of Ares, so Hades probably let him out to face Kratos again

What I love about the GOW Greek saga is the fact that their numerous inaccuracies do not take away from the game or the story. They created new narratives without diminishing their significance. *It takes liberties with Greek mythology and inaccuracies like no problem! Right? Not afraid at all. That's some good story writing right there.*

I’d just like to say that kratos and cretus has no connection. Kratos is a “what if” character unrelated to anything in mythology. This whole game series was written as a alternate reality in which kratos what made
