Spartan
From God of War Wiki
"You can still hold a sword! Spartans do not surrender!" - Kratos
[edit] Greek Mythology
To be a Spartan is not only to be from Sparta, but to be a powerful warrior. Spartan soldiers are picked out of the weak, and are trained from age 7 to become very strong and powerful individuals and soldiers. The name Spartan of course comes from the fact that the Spartans are from the city-state of Sparta. Spartans are known to be extremely fierce and unforgiving, and are taught from their child years to "never surrender", and to "fight to the end".
[edit] In the God of War Series
Kratos, the main character, is a Spartan himself. He grew up in the city, and became its greatest General. From then on, many other Spartan soldiers also followed him through battle after battle. After killing Ares, he was then worshiped by the Spartans as the new God of War (God). Under his reign and help, they conquered many cities and towns. Another warrior from the city is the Last Spartan, who plays several important roles throughout God of War II.
