With the exception of flashbacks, the events take place between the games Chains of Olympus (2008) and Ghost of Sparta (2010). God of War takes place in an alternative version of Ancient Greece, where there are mythological beings such as gods or titans. However, in this case, Kratos’ hybrid is not only not punished, but it supposes him a victory and a greater destiny than he himself had conceived. The development revolves around the idea of Kratos’ hybris (excess) in rebelling against the gods and his own destiny, and the nemesis to which he is subjected, thus being in line with classical Greek literature. The game narrates the adventures of Kratos, a Spartan general in the service of the gods of Greek mythology. God of War is an action-adventure video game distributed by Sony Computer Entertainment in 2005 for PlayStation 2.
