He is almost opposite to his sister Athena, who is represented as logical and strategic. Ares is one of twelve other Olympians who ruled different aspects of life and death for the ancient Greeks. Set before Kratos learned the truth of Ares’ betrayal, God of War: Chains of Olympus is a prequel to the first two games in the series. In God of War: Chains of Olympus, the world is plunged into darkness and the gods rendered powerless. Ares is the god of many things, including warfare, violence, manliness, civil order, city defense, and war booty. He is mainly known as the god of war, however, blood lust or slaughter better suits him. Although Athena is the god of war as well, she is more about strategic warfare. Ares is about unpredictable violence. For his final quest, the goddess Athena tasks Kratos with killing Ares, the Greek God of War. Over the course of the game, flashbacks reveal why Kratos suffers nightmares. In the past, Kratos led Ares was killed by Kratos in God of War (2005), leading to Kratos becoming the new god of War. Ares lies entombed in ice, and this area is an interesting callback to the first game. Ares (/ ˈ ɛər iː z /; Ancient Greek: Ἄρης, Árēs) is the Greek god of war and courage.
