Greek mythology gods names

Kratos

The God of Strength

Kratos is an interesting figure in Greek mythology. It is largely agreed that he is a god of strength and power, but there are conflicting stories about almost everything else about him. There are two competing versions of his parentage, each of which changes his relation to the other gods.

The Son of Titans

In many myths, Kratos is referred to as the son of the Titans Pallas and Styx.

This would make Kratos a relative of the Olympian gods, but not one of their direct number. He is often referred to as the brother of several other figures that represent strength and battle – Nike, the goddess of victory, Bia, the goddess of force and violence, and Zelus, the god of zeal.

In this form, Kratos is seen as a companion of Zeus and the guardian of his throne.

Following this line, he is seen as the personification of strength itself, and the god of sovereign rule. He is usually one of Zeus’ primary enforcers and is an extension of his will.
