comment |
God of War: Ghost of Sparta is a God of War video game released for the PlayStation Portable in 2010, set in-between the events of God of War and God of War II.It starts with a flashback to Kratos' childhood, in which he trains with his brother Deimos. Deimos is believed to be The Chosen One who will topple Olympus, and so he is kidnapped by the gods, particularly Ares. Years later, Kratos, now the God of War, decides to find out what became of his brother. |

The Problem with Fighting Death |
| God of War: Ghost of Sparta (Video Game) / int_140e849 |
comment |
The Problem with Fighting Death: The Grim Reaper is the Big Bad. Ultimately Averted, Death somehow gets killed, even though he is Death incarnate. It's implied Kratos has absorbed his power and become the new death, but since this is an Interquel it's unknown if he lost this status in the beginning of God of War II. |

Mistaken Identity |
| God of War: Ghost of Sparta (Video Game) / int_231e8193 |
comment |
Mistaken Identity: The game introduces a prophecy about a "marked warrior" who is destined to bring about the fall of Olympus. Athena and Ares mistook Deimos to be said warrior because of his birthmarks and thus kidnapped him. As it turns out, the marked warrior in the prophecy is Kratos himself, the mark being the ashes of his family that are bound to his skin. |

Would Hurt a Child: Ares was perfectly prepared to kill Kratos for daring to interfere in his efforts to take Deimos. He only stopped because Athena (knowing Kratos' future importance) reminded Ares Zeus had ordered them to take Deimos and harm no one else. |

Forgot About His Powers |
| God of War: Ghost of Sparta (Video Game) / int_650a309b |
comment |
Forgot About His Powers: Although justified by gameplay reasons, Kratos is a god in this game, yet he doesn't seems to be as near as powerful he was at the end of God of War or the beginning of God of War II. Also he doesn't have any magic at the beginning, even if in God of War II he still kept Poseidon's Rage and the ability of become giant before losing his powers. |

Meaningful Name |
| God of War: Ghost of Sparta (Video Game) / int_6bda9a30 |
comment |
Meaningful Name: In Greek mythology, Deimos was a God of Terrornote He was the son of Ares and Aphrodite and twin brother of Phobos the Fear God., and Kratos was a God of Powernote the son of the Titans Pallas and Styx. He makes a brief appearance in one of the variations of the story of Prometheus. In the opening scene. acting as an agent of Zeus, he leads the captive Prometheus on stage, and instructs Hephaestus to chain Prometheus to a rock, as punishment for his theft of fire., which suits their personalities. Both Gods were more Anthropomorphic Personifications than gods, and almost never appeared as actual characters in any story in Greek Mythology, making them easy name choices. Kratos' mother Callisto, is named after a king's daughter whom Zeus seduced and impregnated by shapshifting into Artemis |

Took a Level in Badass: In his youth, Deimos was considered unfit for the Spartan army. Now, as an adult, Deimos has taken enough levels in badass that he can actually hold his own against Kratos, who's still the God of War at this time, in a straight-up fight. Not bad for someone who spent better part of his life imprisoned. |

Despair Event Horizon: Subverted. At the end of the game, Kratos nearly crosses this line once again after his brother's death, not too long after their mother's by Kratos own hands, no less. He briefly considers throwing himself off the Suicide Bluffs once again like in the first game, but he backs off from doing this and lets his resentment to boil over into the events that lead to the second game. |
