Poseidon god of war6/26/2023 ![]() Embodiment of Vice: After Kratos opens Pandora's Box in the first game, each of the gods became infected with a particular evil housed within it.For example the death of Poseidon caused the earth to be flooded by the oceans. Also, when a god ceases to exist, a catastrophic event based on what the deity personified occurs. ![]() Defeat Equals Explosion: Some of the greek gods or goddesses disintegrate in a devastating expolosion when they are killed.With all the greek gods and goddesses destroyed, and the power of Hope released to humanity, people of Greece can be reborn in a world freed by the old deities and embrace the new monotheistic religion of Christ. At the end of his journey Kratos have annihilated most of the greek pantheon, while the deities who survived his rampage likely vanished in the unsuing chaos. It is possible that this last prophecy will be fullfilled in the years to come. The first of them describes the war between gods and titans, the second depicts a lonely man surrounded by chaos (resembling the ending of III') while the last mural shows three men walking towards a star in the sky, alluding the journey of the Three Wise Men towards the birth of Jesus Christ guided by the Star of Bethlehem. In God of War II Kratos visits the Temple of the Fates where it is possible to notice the presence of three murals that describe past and future events. Death of the Old Gods: The deicidal mission of Kratos can be seen as a catalyst for the age of men and Christianity.Like Kratos, however, none of the gods ever admit to their own hand in how these events have played out, despite calling out Kratos for his own refusal to own up to his own failures. Create Your Own Villain: Make no mistake, Kratos is largely responsible for a lot of the terrible events taking place throughout the original Greek series, but he became a Villain Protagonist in II and III largely because of the gods' machinations utterly ruining his life, and the lives of those he loves.Bad Boss: Despite demanding worship and obedience from the people of Greece, they don't really care about most people and treat them as expendable pawns.By the time of the Norse Era, this seems to be a common view of the Olympians, as Mimir believes that the entire pantheon had it coming. Asshole Victim: Kratos may be a Villain Protagonist by the time of III, but it's hard to feel sorry for their gruesome deaths at his hands on account of what bastards they are.Art Evolution: All of them save Athena and Ares are drastically different-looking from the original game to sequels.Adaptational Wimp: The gods of the Classical Mythology, both Titan and Olympian, simply cannot die, but in the games, they can and mostly do.Being infected by the evils of Pandora's Box may have something to do with that. Adaptational Villainy: While most of the Greek Gods are rather terrible people by today's standard, this series portrays them as far more villainous than in the original myths.
