[edit] The Gods Assignment

Pathos Verdes was a zealot with a wife and two sons. One day the gods appeared in front of him and commanded him to build a temple, to house Pandora's Box, the most powerful weapon a mortal can wield. Pathos, loyal to the gods accepted the task and began to build the temple.

[edit] Construction

Pathos Verdes began the work building the temple. With the help of some Harpies, their riders and the Gods they subdued Cronos, who was cursed to wander the desert until he died. He then started to build the temple on the back of Cronos. His traps and designs were straight forward but would soon spiral to increasing levels of madness.

[edit] Insanity

When building the temple his son died and soon after that his other son died. After their deaths he grew insane and started to lose faith in the gods. While he was still building it, heroes began visiting the temple and many died. The first the Gods sent would be cursed and as he grew more insane he began to make the traps more elaborate and harder. Eventually, he used the bodies of his dead sons in the traps. This caused a serious problem with his wife and in an argument he stabbed her in the chest with a knife, thus killing her. He was still working on the temple when he killed himself, cursing the Gods.

[edit] The Temple and Him

The temple grows harder as the player goes on, this represents the insanity Verdes experiences as he builds the temple. As he grows more insane the temple gets harder. He killed himself but it appears that he was planned to end the temple there as there are what appears to unfinished sections in the temple. Also it gives an insight into Kratos who also grew insane and now hates the Gods.
