After virtually annihilating the entire Greek pantheon, Kratos (who is voiced by Christopher Judge) and his son Atreus (voiced by Sunny Suljic) are in dire need of new challengers and new realms to conquer in God of War 6. The perpetually enraged protagonist has already engaged the Norse realms in 2018’s God of War revival, opening doors to other new realms. I mean, why stop there when there are so many pantheons available for him to beat? God of War‘s Kratos could take on Egyptian gods, Iberian gods, and so much more.
Could Young Kratos Defeat Old Kratos?
Mythology is truly a fascinating subject: different cultures around the world came up with fantastical explanations for natural phenomena, and Kratos will be there to kick their divine behinds. Let’s take a look at which mythological entities Kratos could be beating up next in the God of War franchise (after Ragnarok).
Not much is known about Cariocecus. The cult of this ancient deity originated in the Iberian tribe, which was a group of people that now inhabit what we know as Spain. What little we know about this god is that he eventually became syncretized with Mars and Ares – two of the most well-known gods of war.
It is said that human sacrifices were offered to Cariocecus and that priests of the Lusitanian tribes would cut open prisoners and use their innards for divination in the name of this god. A truly frightening figure that could easily be incorporated into Kratos’ mythos.
A deity who began as a god of fire, Hadúr eventually became the god of war for the early Hungarian tribes. The son of the Golden Father and the Dawn Mother, this god played a central role in the pantheon of the Magyar. He’s also been linked to other Greek gods like Hephaestus due to his status as the blacksmith of the gods.
Kratos is no stranger to war, and neither is he to war deities. Though the Magyar culture is a bit obscure when it comes to popular mythological figures, Kratos has never been one to be picky about who he takes on.
Looking Back Now, God of War Ragnarok Should Have Been A Lot Better
Inanna is somewhat unique among the mythologies of the world in that not only is she the goddess of war – she also represents love, war, justice, and power. Looking back at it and how the first God of War games used to have infamous love scenes, Innana might be the closest we’ll get to a female version of Kratos.
She’s also been known as Ishtar, which is the name the Babylonians and Assyrians gave her. Who knows, maybe Kratos wouldn’t have too much reason to battle Inanna, and she might become a companion in his travels – after they had a good ol’ scuffle.
This might be one of the most confusing gods on our list. Irmin has been considered to be the god of war by the Teutonic
