I guess the 12 Apostles could make for a good sentai team for main hero backup.

Okay, the minotaur just kicking a little hole in the door for you to run through was some amazing if unintentional comedy.

I might be wrong about this, but from what I vaguely recall, the Greeks saw huge dicks as being a sign of being uncultured or barbaric. So, understandable why lazy, drunken goat-(Or apparently, horse-)men might have big penises to an ancient Greek. Also the fact that they're part horse. And, I seem to remember that satyrs would pick the leader of their tribe or group by whomever had the largest dick. Desfore fucked around with this message at 02:54 on Nov 12, 2014 |

Yeah. Having a huge wang was like wearing a fedora is now. Just a big sign that says, "this guy is an rear end in a top hat." Priapus is the best god, though. Nothin' like havin' big dick shrines that people rub all up ons all day.

Nothin' like havin' big dick shrines that people rub all up ons all day. Not just dick shrines, but also (  ) winged dick windchimes, also sprouting dicks of their own, like some crazed dick-hydra.Aside from the previously aformentioned big dick associated with barbarism thing for the Greeks, it was also an obvious fertility symbol. Although for purely aesthetic purposes, it seems that the Greeks prefered proportionally smaller penises in their art, when depicting idealised men and gods.

I'm pretty sure that every culture across space and time has obsessed over dicks (along with the female equivalents). It's just that here and now we've convinced ourselves to avoid bringing them up in polite company.

It's interesting that Heave mentioned Sagittarius being originally a Satyr despite modern depictions being Centaurs but given that the former were originally horse-men and Centaurs are associated with archery, it's easy to see where the modern depiction came from.

I've seen sources citing both. As is often the case with mythology it isn't entirely clear. According to one source it was just a normal guy, who was depicted with horse features in the constellation because he rode horses a bunch. Since my topic was satyrs I went with the satyr route. Also gently caress centaurs. The whole sagittarius thing was the view put out by Eratosthenes, better known as the guy who figured out the circumference of the earth, so the satyr theory has that going for it.

You missed a red chest in that room with the Tetris blocks - you can climb on top of them and jump up to a ledge on the far side. I forget how many orbs you get, though.

Fun fact, Harpies and Sirens were pretty similar description-wise before the latter became synonymous with Mermaids.

Wait. Ares disguised himself as an old lady to tell Kratos not to kill his family, Kratos did it anyway and blamed Ares?

Well, it was either lead an army of darkness on a bloody campaign of senseless destruction or die a hero's death. Kratos' hand was forced.

How much personal responsibility can you have if a literal god of war straps a couple of doom blades onto your arms in exchange for your life? The only redemption there is suicide, but Kratos' post-chaining conduct was at the behest of Ares who pretty much owned Kratos at that point. I guess Kratos could have enjoyed his new job less, but hey, doing what you love for a living is something we all strive for.

Are we supposed to like Kratos? I know he's supposed to be a grimdark anti-hero but he has no charisma, he's dumb as hell and his character design was taken from the doodles of a 13 year old boy's maths workbook.

I mean he's the protagonist of these games, but he's not the kind of guy you root for. He's a blood thirsty psychopath out for revenge. He's The Punisher without any sense of morality or empathy. It's not even really a lesser of two evils situation. Ares is a petty dickhead, but that's kind of what the Greek Gods are known for. He's waging war against Athens, but what else is the god of war going to do? Cross stitch a tasteful plaque to hang above his mantle? It's just a shithead vs shithead battle. At least Kratos is fun to watch.

Chimera-gui posted:To be fair, aren't most Greek "heroes" shitheads anyway? Honestly I always assumed that was sorta the point of God of War; this is what a Greek Hero actually was. A murderous gently caress who did whatever he wanted until his Hubris caught the attention of the Gods and they brought him low. Turns out people though that was loving awesome so we got a whole series of him murdering all the things without much irony or awareness. e: I should note I only know GoWII and III by reputation so maybe they are more aware than they seem on the outside.

Maybe all of the surviving Greek myths we have were from their "dark, gritty reboot" phase. It would be like having your only exposure to Batman being the Growly McArngryface version from the recent films.

Multiple characters in 3 on several occasions shout at Kratos to consider the damage his whiny revenge spree has done so I think it'd be fair to say there's at least some self-awareness there.

I hope theres some paper out there that supports this. And as for the self-awareness there is quite a bit of it. It's not very apparent of it since Kratos displays none of it.

Kratos is a Spartiate. From everything we know about them, they didn't get too hung up on the whole murderous rampage stuff as long as the guys they were killing weren't also Spartans. Honestly, his wife would probably be proud of him.
