I like to imagine that the reason why the other Olympians were not killed was because they had a plan and its finally come to fruition. Maybe Hestia, Aphrodite, Demeter, Apollo, Artemis and Dionysus (and the other minor gods whom Kratos didn't kill) purposefully stayed out of Kratos' way in order for Kratos to kill Zeus and the other Olympians so that the ones who remained, would rebuild Greece with themselves becoming the new rulers.

[@sonofcronos7831]

Not entirely accurate. Hercules would just be a double of Cratus, a lot of gods have the same domains as other gods and this is the result of a lot of mixing (everyone knows Hercules but not everyone knows Cratus, so they just forgotten him and made Hercules that god instead). Hercules domain is the defense of cities and walls, his two immortal sons are the guardians of Olympus and their names were called by the invaded during city invasions, so Hercules is probably related to that. There is no place where Cratus give Heracles his title, nor Apolo took the title from Helios, nor Dionysius took the seat from Hestia, i see a lot of people saying that, but there is no stories about that.

[@rikajougasaki3296]

Heracles a double of Cratus? Funny, since Kratos was made as a dark parallel to Heracles. Maybe he does have some Cratus in him.

I think the reason we don't see a lot of the gods like Apollo is because they were smart and didn't get in the way. Specifically I could see it where the gods who hated Zeus more than anything just sat back and let Kratos do the work for them. Apollo in particular could have secretly been reviving Kratos with the death cure his son made just to get rid of Zeus as for why Apollo would do this well don't forget Zeus killed Apollo's son.

Yeah, I would like to imagine that after Zeus's death. Hestia, Demeter, Aphrodite, Dionysus, Apollo and Artemis would rebuild Greece with themselves becoming the new rulers of Olympus.

The only remnant of this is how his eyes and mouth are "bleeding" sunlight. However when they did that, they found it to really kinda not read well as to what was happening. The decision to dial it back to "just red blood" was for more of a "my ook ook monkey brain understands this" for the common audience.

Artemis, Apollo and Dionysys i can see straight up leaving to avoid the smoke The floods after poseidon i can see still happening. After all hes the one in charge. Its like if your manager quits halfway through shift and only the cashiers are in the building now. Its gonna be a disaster Hercules/Heracles never fully completed his labors. He says this flat out saying he was stuck cleaning the Augean stables and finding the apples while Kratos was crowned the god of war. So in this series, Heracles completed some of his labors only AFTER kratos destroyed ares. And whats even worse is he couldnt complete some of his them due to Kratos interfering. His whole glory was stolen and EVEN worse, he never got his rewards either since kratos waged war on Olympus. Heracles had ALL that hard work go to waste. He had every right to be jealous and angry which is probably why he worked with hera. He hated Kratos more than her for stealing his tasks, preventing his absolution, and making him a laughingstock

Funny you mentioned it: there's a GOW fanfiction called All's fair in Love and War. It sheds light on an interesting scenario with the actual story of Heracles in mind.

[@theraven268]

0:40 Possibly he meant it more as a "Brothers in arms/battle". It would be weird to call them children, both because some aren't and it's also undignified seing as how they are going to battle. "Family" or "fellow gods" sound wrong too. As a turn of phrase for a group going to battle the word "brothers" strikes a good balance of relation, while still being dignified and isn't overly formal. In media (and reality?) It is often used for friends or even just other people in a unit/group/army.

I know that this isn't in the Myth but each gods in this game are infected by the evils that defines their opposites or defines their personality: Poseidon: Temporarily resisted the evil of anger Hades: Evil of Grudge Hermes: Evil of Pride Hera: Evil of Vanity/Drunkenness (opposite of Motherhood) Zeus: Evil of Paranoia (he always seemed to fear and act on fear for his deeds or his illegitimate children) Helios: Evil of Deceit (Once an Oathkeeper) Athena: Evil of Greed (Greed often makes people do unwise things) Heracles: Evil of Envy (he's jealous of Kratos yet he equally achieved as he did)

6:39 would be weird to have Kratos and Cratus in the same room JUST SAYING

[@Darkman9000]

On the topic of Zeus allowing the box to be opened in God of War 1, I think it could come down to two things. One, he didn't know Kratos was after the box until it was too late, or he considered it a justified last means and didn't realize the evils would corrupt him and the Olympians. Since it was Fear that took hold of Zeus, his fury at Hephaestus may have just been the intensified irrationality Zeus had harbored within himself prior, the same that led him to ordering Athena and Ares to kidnap Deimos. It's definitely a shaky explanation, but we are talking about a series that was taking liberties with the mythology since day 1.

For the timeline discrepancy between Perceus in GOW2 and Hercules in GOW3, I think the reason Perceus looks younger is the domain of the sisters of fate is some kind of purgatory where you're trapped doing an endless task.

Also an interesting note about Labyrinth is that, according to some interpretations, it was not some underground maze: it was a palace (labrys was the symbol of King Minos). At the time, any architecture more complex than one-two rooms and a single floor was so confusing for most people that a FOUR story palace (that Daedalus built) was perceived as something unthinkable, and completely disorienting for anyone seeing it.
