Kratos God of War
Our story embarks on a hero of a mortal named Kratos. Kratos is a loss soul seeking redemption from the Gods who just doesn't want gods to be in control of mortals. This particular mortal’s name is Kratos, the ghost of Sparta or the god of war. After killing Ares the real god of war, Athena named Kratos the New God of War. But when he was killed by Zeus and sent down to the underworld's river Styx, all his powers were drained. He was then a mortal once again. As Kratos journeyed down farther through the river he found Athena's Ghost. When he seen her, Athena then gave him the Blades of Exile. Athena granted Kratos with these weapons and said to him "These are the Blades of Exile. They will help guide you on your journey to the flame." The blades have attacks similar to their predecessors, the Blades of Chaos and Blades of Athena, but with a distinctly different design, featuring horned demon faces on the hilts, pronounced hooks on their lower edges, and an intricate pattern of orange stripes on the flat sides of the blades, which emit fire. These blades grant Kratos the magic power, Army of Sparta, as well as the ability to grapple enemies. Kratos soon learned that Pandora's Box still exists with the power to kill a God even after Ares died. The box is protected by the Flame of Olympus and the only way to put out the flame and reach the box, is to sacrifice Pandora. However, Pandora is being held in a Labyrinth. Once Kratos found her he took her up to the flame and made the sacrifice. Once he opens the box he realizes that it is empty and that he just killed a child for nothing, just as he killed his family in vain. This leaves Kratos with another regret on his mind. After this, Kratos kills Zeus. However, his spirit is still alive and attacks Kratos. Kratos then goes into his own mind and finds hope inside him, forgiving himself for all of the bad things that he had done in his life. Including the killing of Athena, his Wife, his Daughter and Pandora. Once

    Throughout the years there have been a multitude of monsters created by people to elicit fear and obedience and also to explain why things occur. Greeks and their predecessors were quite talented at creating stories containing gods and monsters to explain the phenomena of nature around them. Sometimes the lines between the gods and monsters blur in the myths. Although he would be considered a titan or a god due to his birth, Kronos (Cronus) can also be considered a monster as a result of his characteristics and actions.…

    Kleos In The Iliad

    In a contemporary view of successful leadership, a leader must lead by example, and make no distinction between leader and soldier; however, in the society of the Iliad, leaders rule with a very different mentality. By analyzing the stark contrast in the behavior of the high class when address one another, verses their behavior when addressing one of lower status, a clear correlation between the amount of kleos one has and the way in which they are treated may be clearly observed: the more kleos an individual has, the more respect they are treated with. However, while the vicious treatment of common soldiers by the prestigious may warrant the belief that their leaders do not care about them, due to the differences between modern society and…

    In Greek mythology there is an innumerable amount of gods, most of which have a specialized function in both the realm of gods and humans. Yet, no god is more striking, more memorable, or more powerful than Zeus, the father of the gods of Olympus. His authority is far-ranging and definite; there is no revoking his command once it has been ordained. In the same fashion, there are hundreds of Greek heroes, yet there are none braver, stronger, or more wrathful than the swift runner Achilles who commands respect from all the Greeks and yields to no man. However, despite all their strength and authority, neither Zeus nor Achilles appears capable of eschewing or defying the omnipresent power that holds more sway than them: fate. Sans doubt, once a human is dealt his hand, there is nothing that he can humanly do in order to prevent his fate. As for the gods, with all their power and independence, they are still undeniably bound by the hands of fate. Fate is a peculiar phenomenon in that it has no limitations, yet it is a fixed occurrence that does not change over time or through the progression of different events that may influence it. Powerful men and gods such as Achilles and Zeus may do as their hearts and minds desire, because there is no one who can stop or defy them. Thus, the role of fate becomes clear, since fate is without desire or mind; its existence is to curb the ridiculous and emotional wishes of powerful beings who cannot be stopped otherwise.…

    Alexander the Great was a lord of Macedonia in Ancient Greece. He was conceived in Macedonia in 356 BC. He was guided by Aristotle and turned into the ruler of Macedonia at 20 years old. He was known for building a major realm crosswise over numerous Greek settlements. Along these lines, Greek culture was spread out along numerous urban communities all through the Near East. The Greek culture spreading along the Near East was something worth being thankful for Greece since it enabled them to impact culture and dialect into different urban communities. It wasn't such something worth being thankful for the general population that lived in the Near East urban communities and past in light of the fact that they didn't get the chance to build up…

    Clara Barton once said, "I have an almost disregard of precedent and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things have always been done… I defy the tyranny of precedent. I cannot afford the luxury of a closed mind. I go for anything new that might improve the past" (Lewis 1).

    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.…

    Justice In The Iliad

    was heavily influenced by mythological deities at the cost of more rational perspectives to life. Throughout Book VI, the gods had the ability to instigate success and failure. When Diomedes first encounters Glaukos, his first priority is to determine whether Glaukos is “one of the immortals [who] come down from the bright sky.” He is vehement about not making an ill-fated decision and fighting the gods. Later, Hektor’s primary mission as he returns to Troy is to prompt worship and sacrifice to Athena in hopes of receiving benefits on the battlefield. The high level of respect had for the gods manifests itself when Hektor refused to pray at the temple because of the “blood and muck all spattered upon him.” Furthermore, the concept of invocation as an effort to procure a preferred fate is observed when the women pray to Athena. Greek civilizations in the 8th century B.C. maintained a profound reliance on the power of the gods and goddesses. Their deities’ ability to determine an individual’s or group’s fate played a crucial role during wartime and brought on a culture that turned to the gods and goddesses for answers as well as benefits. To rationalize life, early ancient Greek societies depended on their deities.…
