Yes, welcome to another Edition of Creepy, Unrelated to the game Facts.
With your awsome researcher, Angelus.

This is basically for those interested in where the hell the names of their favorite characters came from~!

We all know that Kratos is an alternate spelling of 'Cratos', the Greek God of strength, but did you know that Zelos is an Alternate spelling of 'Zelus', god of envy and competiton?

Behold an amazing family tree from Greek mythology that was drawn in Paint~!

Why yes, they are brothers in the myth. : D

...why is it that most of Kosuke Fujishima's work has to do with some sort of mythology??

I mean, AMG was mainly ripped from Norse mythology.
Yggdrasil, the main central computer for the heavens, is the tree we all know.
Nidhogg, the demons' version of Yggdrasil, is a serpent that chews on the roots of Yggdrasil in mythology.

...and I could go on forever, but this isn't a AMG guild, so I'll shut up now.

Which reminds me. Zelus is mentioned in OMG story. It's some legendary virus that infiltrates the system.
And Kratos is from God of War. Everyone know that.
