      No. NO. Kratos starts his killing spree against the gods because --I FUCKING KID YOU NOT-- He accidentally killed his wife and daughter in a raid against a neighboring country, and blamed it on Ares. The reason he has white skin is because it's the ashes of his wife and daughter.

      -.- I mean, that is very classical tragic hero. Of course, the Greeks were absurdly misogynistic so which is why their stories asked us to sympathize with a murderer's man pain over the woman and child(ren?) he victimized. What's a 21st writer's excuse?

      Two things -- 1) They didn't. Kratos is explicitly a villian. You aren't supposed to sympathize with him. 2) I don't like playing villians. That is explicitly why I did not like the God of War series.

      Ok, I see what you're saying. Yea...I guess some folks enjoying playing cartoon villians. Not my thing, but I don't project that onto the player's psychology. YMMV, but I do feel that at a certain point storytellers cross a line where depicting certain things is irresponsible.

      One of the more interesting things about the new God of War game I think (from what I've seen) is the portrayal of Kratos as a man filled with remorse and greif for what he did. From what I understand, it is explicitly a condemnation for that older character.

      And that's interesting to me specifically because so many people at the time saw Kratos as aspirational. They wanted to wreak vengence upon people who wronged them. Like the video game version of people who unironically believed Kira is Justice.

      Well the first game was a self contained story and then they felt the need to turn it into a franchise The correct ending for the story from a Greek tragedy perspective is the one where at the end of GoW 1 he steps off a cliff and kills himself

      I feel like some Greek tragedies did also succumb to Sherlock Holmes syndrome where they eventually just brought the hero back to keep being awesome. Didn't Odysseus and Hercules both get rewarded in the end?

      Hercules is rewarded by going to Olympus and becoming the god of heroes, married to Hebe, the goddess of youth (Her name is the source for the word "hebephilia", which is a synonym for "ephebephilia" So yeah)

      I did not know that...I didn't really think it was possible for me to dislike Hercules more.

          You know your culture may have a problem when this is enough of a thing you need to make a goddess for it. (I am capable but more nuanced historical analysis but then I wouldn't get to mock Ancient Greece's horrifying culture of preying on minors.)
