The story of
Kratos

In a very distant past there was a conference taking place with three gods on mount Olympus. This conference would forever change the world. The names of the gods in the conference were Ares, Athena, and their father Zeus. They were there to discuss the name of the mortal known as Kratos. Zeus had noticed his son Ares was becoming a monster and would become pure evil. Kratos had been a champion of the gods. He was the captain of his Spartan army. Little did anybody that Kratos would become legend. There was a war taken place of Kratos’s army of Spartans against an army of barbarians. Kratos was out numbered by millions. The war lasted for days and just before the life of the young Spartan captain was about to end Kratos called for the help of the god of war Ares and specifically said “Ares!!!!!!! If you help me defeat my enemies my soul is yours”. As Ares began to descend on earth gray clouds circled then sky. When Ares had landed on earth a big earth quake happened Ares made this orb of red energy which instantly either burned the barbarians to flame or instantly bent them in half. Ares gave Kratos the blades of chaos. Which were burnt on to his skin which made them binded to him unwillingly. This would instantly help Kratos destroy his enemies. Kratos had given up his soul which meant he was forever to do the evil orders from Ares. Area had tricked Kratos to killing his wife and daughter. The gods did not take this lightly. They plotted to kill Ares. Kratos was cursed with nightmares each day of what he had done to his family. The gods then told Kratos about his mission given to kill Ares and they said if you do this for us we will forgive you for your terrible deed. To do this you will need Pandora’s Box. Kratos had to do what many man have tried but never succeeded in doing which was to find Pandora’s Box and kill a god. Kratos traveled to the Aegean Sea where he had to kill the hydra and travel to Athens where Ares was in war with the city of Athens. He then traveled through the dessert of lost souls to find the titian known as Kronos on Kronos’s back was the massive Pandora’s temple. Kratos jumped onto the back of the titian and it took him three days to climb it. There after three days Kratos found Pandora’s Box. Then Kratos went back to Athens where he opened Pandora’s Box which gave him the strength and size of a god. He then used the blades of chaos to kill Ares and as a reward he got the blades of Athena which were binded to him willingly. Kratos took Ares’s throne and became legend. Finally, this is why we remember what goes around comes around in commemoration to the God of War Kratos.

Sometimes the lines between the gods and monsters blur in the myths.

    Greek mythology shows that ancient Greek gods took terrible revenge on those who opposed or displeased them. When Tantalus, son of Zeus, displeased the gods, he was condemned to float for eternity in a beautifully lake. If he bent to drink from the clear, sparkling water, it recedes from him, if he reached for the luscious grapes hanging overhead. They stayed just out of reach. Sisyphus displeased the gods by telling their secrets he was taught the meaning of frustration. His task for all the years of eternity were to roll a huge, heavy rock up a steep hill. When he had almost reached the top, the rock would invariably break loose and roll to the bottom, poor Sisyphus had to start again. Arachne bragged that she could weave more skillfully…

    Kleos in the Iliad

    • 1067 Words
    • 5 Pages

    When we consider the Hero in ancient Greek culture, we must forget our notion of what a hero is. The ancient Greek concept of a hero was different from our own culture's. The motivation for any Homeric Greek is glory, or "Kleos", that is to be honored and respected among their people. Not only does kleos imply being honored and respected, it literally means ‘to be heard.’ Achieving kleos entails that your tale and ultimately you will live on forever. Kleos is essential to the Greeks and life would not be worth living without it. When a warrior or hero is advised to avoid risking their life in battle it almost drives them even further towards the deed. It is better to be killed in action rather than to live and be thought a coward. By our rational standards one would certainly not be thought a coward if they didn't rush into battle to almost certain death, the Greeks however, live by a different set of rules, a different set of standards and a different set of goals. In The Iliad, Homer explores the ancient Greek struggle for mortal men to attain immortality through glory in battle, and even death. Those who achieve great kleos in battle are respected and loved by their families and kinsmen, while those who turn away from it are scorned. When faced with inevitable death, the epic heroes of The Iliad choose war so they may realize immortality in their deaths.…

    Heroic glory occupies a very crucial place in the Indo-European epic tradition, because the Greek society is a shame culture, in which being honoured is one of the primary purposes of people 's lives. Hence, the concept of kleos formed an essential part of the bardic tradition which helped the people to maintain the heroic stature of the mythical heroes from generation to generation. This is why, it has got an important place in the Greek epics also. In The Odyssey by Homer also, we find indirect references to the kleos of the eponymous hero Oddyseus and his son Telemachus.…
