Opening statements
this is solely focusing on the mainline games and their continuity not any twitter,novel or comic versions which never happened
Greece Section
In the myths
Heracles or hercules slained the hydra
but in god of war that deed was done by kratos
In the myths, kratos was the son of pallas and styx
but in the games
we see he's the son of zeus
And in the myths
cerberus is a single entity
and the son of echidna and typhon
and guardian of the underworld
in the games
cerberus is a species
and unrelated to the hydra who in the myths would be it's brother
Also in the myths
Zeus killed his father
where in the games, he's very much alive far after
the titans were overthrown
only thing done to him was they chained a temple to his back.
which btw never happened in the myths cause in the myths
he was cut to pieces and thrown to tartarus
Norse Section
Jourmandr in the myths was born as the son of loki and angrboda
where in the video games, it's just a random frost giant who had it's soul put in a dead snake body
Same applies to fenrir, In the norse myths would be loki and angrboda's son
but in the video games, he's just some random pet of atreus
and fenrir in norse myths was the father of the sun and moon wolfs
skoll and hati where in the video games, they are just two random wolfs unrelated to fenrir
also garm never has any relation to fenrir in the myths
where in the games, fenrir takes over garm's body
garm is the guard dog of helheim in the myths where in the games, he's a mindless beast who would be chained down
also in the myths, freya and frigg are two different people
frigg being the norse goddess of motherhood
and freya being the norse goddess of battle
also one is aesir another is a vanir god so as the article here says they overlap in the fact both are odin's wives but aside from that both are entirely different people
so when the games say yea their the same person that clearly is very inaccurate
