Oh. My. Gods.

<< < (5/5)

cnsvnc:
I haven't played either games, but what I remember from mythology is that Athena despises Ares. Their mythological roles are in opposition: Ares is the god of battle, violence, carnage and all around destruction on the battlefield. He's a mass slaughterer. Athena's portfolio includes tactics, strategy, planning and so on; mental side of war. Athena is an intellectual.

She'd love to remove Ares from the pantheon (and all that he stands for from the world) for good.

There could be some sort of metaphor in Kratos' ridding himself of Ares' chains and embracing Athena's weapons.


I REALLY wish GoW is ported to PC though.

I'm not sure why Athena offered him something like that, but I do have an idea why Kratos might have accepted them; Athena's the goddess of justice/wisdom and by accepting a symbol of servitude from her, it would be a symbol of his triumph over Ares, the mad god that loved war so much he forced Kratos to kill those he loved, and of his change to serving justice (for his fallen wife and child, if nothing else) by killing Ares.

Ah, but he is not in her service, he's a god himself now. He neither serves nor answers to her anymore. So why would he accept them?

Yes, it is a leading question. :)
