Was Kratos in the wrong for destroying the entire Greek pantheon?

YES

Kratos ends up being a messenger from Yahwe.

Reaction?

Did the greek gods do anything wrong? Even after the corruption they didn't harm mortals either

He kind of was in 2, but thanks to some Retcons, even though Kratos never was in the right either, he is now painted as never having a "choice" in the matter.

After Ghost of Sparta, we know that short after the end of the first GoW, he was not only still getting crazy by guilt, but he also found out how the Gods play him and his family from the start, forcing him to actually mercy kill his own mother, and failing to save his brother. Worst yet, he founds out that the events that destroyed his family, were orchestrated by his new found father, Zeus!

So, from there, plus the madding dreams, we know why he start as an asshole at the beginning of GoW2. If he was being played to become a God of War, he would at least use his powers to guide his fellow Spartans (the only people he seemed to care at the time) to glory! Not the best of character arcs, specially at the time, but now we know the reasons behind it.

More retcons show how Zeus was always planning to kill Kratos to begin with, specially after being "infected" by fear, so again, it's kind of imply that Kratos never had a real choice in the matter, and we played a self fulfilling prophecy (The son would over throne the father).

Nothing of this makes Kratos a "good" guy, much less a hero, in the original games, but paints him as the God's own undoing. They mess with his, and countless of mortals lives for centuries, and now they pay the price... alongside the rest of Greece.

Everything bad that ever happened to him was his own fault. Kratos ironically was the main villain of the series.

He wiped out most of Greece.
Yeah he probably did kill millions.

Who knows, a Crazy Deimos may have found his why out of Tartarus eventually, and turn into god murderer just the same... maybe crazier.

This whole saga was painted as a self fulfilling prophecy at the end after all. Zeus wanted to prevent his sons from killing him, but in the end, Athena, Ares, Kratos and Deimos, all of them played a role in his undoing. Is amazing Heracles didn't betray him as well!

>Apollo never appears
Weird.

They burn out Sparta once, fearing Deimos (Krato's brother) would grow up to become... well, Kratos! Ares was an overall asshole from the start, and both Persephone and Morpheus tried to destroy/conquer the world.

And it's just imply that Zeus was starting to get mad anyway, his paranoia of one his multiple (and probably still counting) sons would come to destroy him, would probably meant the end of Olympus anyway.

Kratos and his goons killed millions in 2 until they were stopped by Zeus. Then Kratos killed millions more himself in 3.
