Mythology in God of War 1/2
Mythology is soooo awesome!!! (even real one, not only game stuffs) Always loved mythology! …well, that’s not entirely true, back in 8th grade when it was mandatory reading i skipped it in favour of Karl May, Jules Vernes & Agatha Christie, only to return to it a couple of years later when a couple of years of digging into psychoanalysis a la Jung convinced me that i better brush up on these often refered to characters & stories. But from then on I loooved it! So, needless to say it was with great pleasure that I went through what i think is the best retelling of mythology in the modern day times: the God of War games. And with superb artwork too! Here’s a documentary I found very interesting made by the God of War team that Gametrailers have kindly provided for the world to enjoy. Above is part one, here are the other 5 parts:
…
The Titans
The Creatures
The Heroes
Fate
What stuck with me was David Prather said about the gods being like us. Possibly that was their downfall… but they sure do make for an entertaining bunch.
