Kratos- Greek SpiritSpirit"Spirit of Strength"

Children of Styx

When the war between gods and Titans began, the Oceanid Styx — goddess of the underworld river by whose waters the gods swore unbreakable oaths — was the first immortal to bring her children to fight for Zeus. She came with four children by the Titan Pallas: Nike, Zelus, Bia, and Kratos — personifications of victory, zeal, force, and strength. Zeus honored Styx's loyalty by making her waters the guarantee of all divine oaths, and her children by keeping them at his side forever, never to leave his throne.

The Binding of Prometheus

Kratos's defining act came at Zeus's command. He and Bia dragged Prometheus — who had stolen fire and given mortals the means to forge tools and survive the cold — to a desolate crag in the Caucasus Mountains. The smith-god Hephaestus accompanied them, carrying the chains he had been ordered to forge. But Hephaestus hesitated. Prometheus was his kinsman, a fellow god, and he called the punishment a cruelty beyond what any immortal should endure.

Kratos did the talking. He drove Hephaestus forward with cold authority, reminding him that disobedience to Zeus carried consequences of its own. "No one is free except Zeus," he declared, and ordered the chains drawn tighter, every possible escape sealed. Bia stood silent beside him through it all and never spoke a word. Together they pinned Prometheus to the rock, and Kratos tested every bond — the stakes driven through the wrists, the wedge hammered through the chest — before leaving, satisfied that the Titan would hang there until Zeus decided otherwise. An eagle would come each day to tear out the Titan's liver, which grew back each night — the ongoing price for defying the king of gods.
