Literally Kratos vs every god that underestimated him. Even Hercules was physically stronger than him, but was acting exactly like the Hare. All Kratos had to do was wait until a button appeared above them and win.
"When the hare slipped up the tortoise used his chain blades to cut of the hare's legs, bringing disease to Olympus, the tortoise also looted the hare's boots of speed of of him so he could use the in his quest to kill his father zeus. And son, that's how i killed Hermes."
Half of the stories Kratos told are actually referencing to his previous life. The hare and the tortoise is during his battle with Hermes. And the scorpion and frog is when he rode on Gaia's back on the way to Olympus.
@@Erricane no they are not. Actually these stories are old greek fables written by aesop. kratos even said he met him long ago, at 00:16. they are not references to his life, excepting the one of the horse and the stag.
He left out the most important detail, that the hare took a nap in the middle of the race, which lead to the tortoise winning. But hey, even he has to start somewhere with telling his little boy stories.
Not really, kratos is talking about the hermes fight. When kratos fought hermes, he was arrogant and brash, zipping across the map and not actually engaging him. Kratos was slow and patient, making his way to him. Kratoscends up winning their fight and taking Hermes' boots as a tool.
@@larrypoppins6273 It's not _about_ that fight at all, it's a real story that has existed for thousands of years... as to why the developers chose for Kratos to tell it, it's a greek fable.
These stories Kratos tells are actually very significant, not in its content, but from where Kratos got the stories in the first place.

In another version: The tortoise win by waiting for an opportunity to strike as the hare was gloating. The opportunity came when the hare was sitting on top of a statue, the tortoise trebuchet itself to the hare, and after a brief chasing, the tortoise chopped both of the hare's hind legs.
“The tortoise then proceeded to chase the hare up a massive chain, rip off his legs in a brutal manner with his whip knives, and took his boots as a trophy and tool in his quest to kill the rest of the hare’s family. Oh, and the entire world was wrought with painful, diabolical disease. The end.” Atreus: “...”
It wasn’t written down or published yes, but it was passed around by word during the Greek era. It’s a Greek fable from the Aesop oral collection, sometime between 600-500 bce.
@sendhan senthil A great warrior’s apprentice betrayed him, and they fought. The Apprentice became overconfident in his abilities, despite the Master having the high ground. The Master wins.
Yes there was a story of a girl in a red hood. she was sent on a mission to deliver Goods to her weaken old grandmother but she is foolish and too trusting. A wolf in the shadows appears and devours grandmother slowly. when the girl in The Red Hood arrives, the wolf devours her too. They are then rescued by a nosey stranger.
Story time with Kraytos :P , Kraytos : There twas once a mermaid who fell in love with a human..... so she made a deal with a devil so they could marry and the devil tricked her, but her trick failed.... the guy who loved the mermaid in return did not like this... so he killed the devil.....the end
Oh GOD! Glad I've watched The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Harry potter, Star Wars, The Mandalorian. I guess I won't be a disappointment to my kid in the future!
Atreus: You haven't told a lot of stories have you? Kratos: It's not my fault the full edition to the story has an age rating of 18 boy. Atreus: Guess I'll "never never learn" the purpose behind the story then Kratos: WHAT DID U SAY BOY?!
@@vincentesplana6204 they are not references of his previous life, he is simply talking about Aesop's fables, he even said he met him long ago at 00:16
Kratos: The tortoise proceeds to cut off the hare's legs, which in turn brought disease into the world.
sounds familiar...
HAHAHAHAHA
Only part of the world
“The tortoise looked at the hare’s legs and thought, ‘Nice shoes.’”
Oh shit you’re right.
Kratos just mocked Hermès’ death
Kratos: "...and that's how I killed Hermes, son"
The tortoise won the competition by cutting the hare's legs, aye lad?
Hey rabbit foot brings good fortune.
Agent Gambut
Indeed brother.
Atreus: "...what's an Hermes, dad?"
And thus the tortoise got some new air jordans that will help him kill his father
Literally Kratos vs every god that underestimated him. Even Hercules was physically stronger than him, but was acting exactly like the Hare. All Kratos had to do was wait until a button appeared above them and win.
That button, you da real mvp.
I thought that story could be related to Kratos and Hermes, but your explanation makes a lot of sense.
PLUX4 Thought so too
Boy. Enough.
hgahahaha
Kratos is just channeling his inner Patrick
"He was so ugly that everyone died. The end."
wow, he cuts it RIIIIIIIIIIIGHT down to the point doesn't he
Gary boiiiiiiiii
Laconic phrase.
Blunt and to the point.
For all the inaccuracies regarding Sparta in this series, they actually got this one aspect right.
The PUN!!
As a prior member of my country’s military, I can appreciate getting to the point.
Short and purposeful is what he said, also the whole story is a reference to how he kills hermes in god of war 3.
"When the hare slipped up the tortoise used his chain blades to cut of the hare's legs, bringing disease to Olympus, the tortoise also looted the hare's boots of speed of of him so he could use the in his quest to kill his father zeus. And son, that's how i killed Hermes."
Lol, good meme. I didn't know people were still watching this video, btw.
And it still happen for now.
I love how kratos implies that he knew aesop personally.
Who?
Come on we’ve waited a year, we deserve to know who aesop is
@@LisaAnn777 I just read about it, Aesop was the Greek storyteller who originally told the tortoise and the hare
@@ShiddyKongoh I get it, actually that's a cool little detail.
@@LisaAnn777 yeah man, it’s awesome. I learn a ton from God of War youtube commenters
The Horse and the Stag story is a good one. It resembles Kratos and Ares and the Barbarian King
Half of the stories Kratos told are actually referencing to his previous life.
The hare and the tortoise is during his battle with Hermes. And the scorpion and frog is when he rode on Gaia's back on the way to Olympus.
@@Erricane no they are not. Actually these stories are old greek fables written by aesop. kratos even said he met him long ago, at 00:16. they are not references to his life, excepting the one of the horse and the stag.
The tortoise wiped out all of Olympus lol
Beautiful scene.. I loved when Kratos properly narrated why he named his son as Atreus and Atreus towards end says he actually told a great story..
And Mimir missed it
The tortoise get a new Air Jordan later....
Should've told him how the tortoise chased the arrogant hare and cut its legs off 😈
I wondered if anyone else stopped rowing to listen to the stories lol
I always do lol
This has a reference to when Kratos chased Hermes and fucked him up for his shoes.
There once was a little boy who wouldn't stop sucking his thumbs.
A tailor came by and cut the boy's thumbs off.
Now the boy has no thumbs.
The end.
Read this in a german accent
*Atreus.exe has stopped working*
Let me guess, somebody stole your sweet roll?
@@kingjanitor8675 Staying safe, I hope?
Anti malware Mimir installed
what a way to shorten the story
Like he shortened hermes' legs?
He left out the most important detail, that the hare took a nap in the middle of the race, which lead to the tortoise winning.
But hey, even he has to start somewhere with telling his little boy stories.
A Ghost Without a Past Vocal chord parasites.
A Ghost Without a Past "Sahelanthropus will unleash that thirst unto the future." Those were his last words. Pretentious till the end...
Ancient history, not my most bright moment.
In defense of Kratos, he did say the hare was overconfident and foolish, hence why he took the nap. However, you're right, it is a big deal to omit
I think hes talking about hermes XD
the turtle cut off the hare's legs just to get the latest pair of nikes 😂😂👌
I mean, the story of the hare and the tortoise perfectly encapsulates almost every major boss fight of the original trilogy
@Uncle Crispy technically Chains Of Olympus, Ghost of Sparta and Ascension don't fall under the og trilogy rt?
You've missed the part where the tortoise cuts off hares legs and them as as trophy
Well just his boots but I'd like to think kratos has his legs mounted on a wall
Tortoise = Kratos
Hare = Hermes
that story is the perfect analogy on how to play this game. take your time and pick your shots
Not really, kratos is talking about the hermes fight. When kratos fought hermes, he was arrogant and brash, zipping across the map and not actually engaging him. Kratos was slow and patient, making his way to him. Kratoscends up winning their fight and taking Hermes' boots as a tool.

He meant to say Haremess
Kratos: Then, tortoise ripped the hare legs.
I would like to have a playlist of bedtime stories as told by kratos
This is how imma tell my kids this story
And now I'm trying to picture out a spartan disciplined tortoise moving purposefully against a joyful hare 😂😂
Yet the story he tells at the end about why he named him atreus was the most touching story in the whole game.
These stories Kratos tells are actually very significant, not in its content, but from where Kratos got the stories in the first place.

Nice. could just be creative license tho.
Yep, Aesop’s Fables... The tortoise and the hare is the most famous one that has stood the test of time.
This man Kratos knew... Aesop?
In another version: The tortoise win by waiting for an opportunity to strike as the hare was gloating. The opportunity came when the hare was sitting on top of a statue, the tortoise trebuchet itself to the hare, and after a brief chasing, the tortoise chopped both of the hare's hind legs.
That's pretty fucking adorable

Atreus: “...”
Kratos vs Hermes
Fun fact that story wasn't written until a couple hundred years after the roman era.
Nah, that person stole it from Kratos.
It wasn’t written down or published yes, but it was passed around by word during the Greek era. It’s a Greek fable from the Aesop oral collection, sometime between 600-500 bce.
i believe kratos actually telling the story of him killing hermes
Darth Plagueis achieved great power but began to fear losing it. He taught his apprentice that power but he betrayed and killed him.
@sendhan senthil From a certain point of view
@sendhan senthil A great warrior’s apprentice betrayed him, and they fought. The Apprentice became overconfident in his abilities, despite the Master having the high ground. The Master wins.
My favorite story. Admire Kratos for his wisdom
Yes there was a story of a girl in a red hood. she was sent on a mission to deliver Goods to her weaken old grandmother but she is foolish and too trusting. A wolf in the shadows appears and devours grandmother slowly. when the girl in The Red Hood arrives, the wolf devours her too. They are then rescued by a nosey stranger.
the cool thing is that story actually originates in Greece and was written by Aesop a great storyteller. maybe that's who told Kratos the story.
The tortoise wins.
You’re damn right!
@@julianchapman69yearsago88 the tortoise then later cut off the hare legs and brought disease on the world!
And that my son is how I killed Hermès
Love Kratos storys
Still a better love story than Twilight.
I loved this Easter Egg. One thing the game does perfectly is just perfectly include dialogue while exploring and traveling.
That story perfectly sums up what he did to Hermes in God of War III.
The man he knew long ago probably was æsop.
The shoe and shoelace, one is meaningless without the other
In short...well Atreus that’s the story of how I brutally murdered the Greek god Hermes the end!
ive heard this story a hundred times
I just realised that that was a reference to him chasing hermes.
Kratos vs. Hermes story
He's talking about Hermes and Cratos is the tortoise
That was a pretty good story.
Damn, the rabbit and the tortoise legend existed way back when.
In Greece (what's left of it) they revised the story to: The Kratos and the Hermes
Patrick Star would be proud of Kratos
He even mentions aseop in the very beginning
Aesop´s Fables :D
He would probably make it so that the tortise cut someones legs off
Story time with Kraytos :P , Kraytos : There twas once a mermaid who fell in love with a human..... so she made a deal with a devil so they could marry and the devil tricked her, but her trick failed.... the guy who loved the mermaid in return did not like this... so he killed the devil.....the end
Kraytos: Another reason to not trust a good boy....
+hakuryu
I don't get it.
Aphrodite?
hakuryu His name is spelled Kratos. Not Kraytos
Basically hermes
THE TORTOISE WINS
He also told the story the horse who got enslaved because he wanted revenge
Kratos vs. Icarus Story in a Shellnut.
Shellnut, lol. That's a good meme
I love how the story kratos told is Greek...
Oh GOD! Glad I've watched The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Harry potter, Star Wars, The Mandalorian. I guess I won't be a disappointment to my kid in the future!
It bothers me that you didn't ram that barrel
Tells all the god of war story in 10 seconds😐
Funny when you realise the story was based on Kratos and Hermes’s…”battle”
Is that the story about him vs Hermes?
what man's stories were brief and purposeful ??? plzzz
Atreus: You haven't told a lot of stories have you?
Kratos: It's not my fault the full edition to the story has an age rating of 18 boy.
Atreus: Guess I'll "never never learn" the purpose behind the story then
Kratos: WHAT DID U SAY BOY?!
😂😂😂🤣😂🤣😍😍😍😍
So you mean you and Baldur right ?
Kratos vs Hermes. His stories are usually his literal stories but making it child friendly. He even states the lore of the first God of War game
@@vincentesplana6204 they are not references of his previous life, he is simply talking about Aesop's fables, he even said he met him long ago at 00:16
