Historians React to God Of War III

[@Juggtacula]

Gamology, please please PLEASE don't be afraid to help the experts out if they start to flounder or get confused. These guy are experts on Greek Mythology, not God of War Greek Mythology. You could've explained that they confused Ares and Hades, and that Ares is dead and the series is called "God of War" because it's originally about the God of War betraying Kratos. Or that they were looking at Harpies, and the Furies actually show up in a different game. I'm sure they'd have interesting commentary on being given the proper context of what they're talking about.

[@jaydenlopez8165]

[@shminguskringus]

The guys probably confused Hades and Ares because Hades wasn’t actually considered a god by the others, considering he was a total douchebag. Him being on Olympus would typically make no sense.

[@Juggtacula]

@@shminguskringus That's making my point. The GoW series takes names, locations, and basic stories from mythology and then runs wherever they want with it. It's not anything remotely like actual mythology. Kratos for example is the God of Strength and was insanely loyal to Zeus, not his demi-God son. And Hades wasn't considered an Olympian because he didn't live on Olympus, but he was still considered a God.

[@ВладиславБулаев-л3э]

[@GarrusVakarian98]

[@smashbrandiscootch719]

This was INCREDIBLY enjoyable. Also, I always took the story of Pandora as a critique on the gods' hubris. Cause like, all they had to do was just say, "Hey Pandora, this jar contains all of the evil in the world and if you open it, all that evil will get out and we'll all be ankle deep in evil come morning." and I'm pretty sure she would have left it alone. But they were like, "ohhhh we're sooooooo above mortals, why should we bother wasting time with details?" and because of that natural curiosity did its thing and Pandora opened the jar.

[@Acejak1234]

thats exactly how they acted in grim adventures of billy and mandy lol

[@stonecoldku4161]

One of the things that I enjoyed about the God of War games was that they delt with the mythologies but introducing this Spartan Kratos and his story messed with those mythologies. One in particular example is what they did with Perseus and Medusa in God of War 1 and 2. In GOW1 Ares was attacking Athens due to his jealousy of Athena and Zeus showing favor to her over him. To attack Athens, he brought his army of undead as well as other mythical creatures. One of whom was Medusa. Now it would make sense that Medusa would want to attack Athens as it was Athena who cursed Medusa by turning her into a Gorgon. Now Kratos was tasked by the gods to save Athens from Ares and during that battle he had to face off with Medusa. Ultimately, he won by ripping her head off. Now in the original myth Perseus was the one to kill Medusa using a blade and using a reflection in his shield in order to see her and not turn to stone. He then used the head of Medusa to save his mother from being forced to marry someone she didn't want to and he also used it to save the woman who would eventually become his wife. But because in the game's mythology Kratos killed Medusa before Perseus was, Perseus was not able to save his future wife, so he had to find another way. Perseus then began his quest to reach The Sisters of Fate. At around the same time GOW2 began. Kratos was betrayed by Zeus, saved by the Titan Gaia and they sent him to The Sisters of Fate in order to change his past and stop Zeus from betraying/killing him. While on the Island of Fate Kratos ran into Perseus and then ended up fighting each other as Perseus thought it was a test by the sisters, kill Kratos in order to be granted an audience with them. It didn't end well for Perseus.

i can forgive all historical inaccuracies, EXCEPT them making Hera, Hades and Poseidon be just minions full on to defend Zeus.

He wasnt allowed in Olympus and if he got invited just because Zeus needed a mess cleaned up the only thing he would do is send a selfie of him, persephone and cerberus flashing ass and giving Zeus the finger. Also why they made Hades look like that?

[@titanhades4331]

Cause Kratos killed Persephone in a previous game. Not to mention Kratos killed Charon the Ferryman in a previous game. He is not really happy with Kratos. You see Persephones dead body in a coffin in GOW3, which Kratos uses as a battering ram.
