God of War

       

God of War

        Kratos is a spartan warrior that was tricked by Mars, the god of war, into killing his family. Once he found out that Mars had lied to him he goes on a rampage and ends up killing Mars and a couple of the other gods as well. Then God Jupiter (who Kratos soon discovers is really his father) ends up seeing his power and makes him the new God of war on mount Olympus. He is also referred to as the Ghost of Sparta because after he killed his Family he disappeared to fulfill his goal of killing Mars. There are many other gods in this game such as Jupiter, Mars, Thor and so many more.
    I love this myth. I absolutely enjoyed the game and in my opinion, Kratos has one of the coolest backstories ever. His name fits him perfect and his nickname the "Ghost of Sparta" is perfect for him because it represents his backstory and everything he hates about himself. Some things about the myth have changed throughout the video games. Such as now he has a new family and he is older than he was back when he killed mars. He is now calmer and not as strong as he used to be. So, all in all, I love this story and this game.
