In the movie, Theseus' mother was in a humble position and was brutally killed by King Hynepolis, which triggered Theseus' hatred for King Hynepolis, and with the help of the Holy Prophet, found the bow of Epilos. , launched the battle to defend ancient Greece.
However, in Greek mythology, Theseus was of noble birth, his father was King Aegeus of Athens (son of Poseidon), and his mother was Princess Etra of Tronze. After his father committed suicide by jumping into the sea (the sea of ​​Aegeus) in desperation, he succeeded his father as king. Theseus introduced many good ways to improve the life of the people, and, in order to make the country no longer threatened by the female Amazonian warriors, he led an expedition to the country of women and captured its queen.
It can be said that the movie "God of War" is an inspirational story that borrows characters from Greek mythology. The lowly peasant, after receiving the guidance of God (Zeus), used the prophetic power of the saintess to rise up and become a generation of heroes who saved all mankind. ——It is a typical peasant uprising in ancient China!
However, as a blockbuster with the propaganda of "an epic masterpiece full of betrayal, revenge and the search for an immortal soul", the picture and production effects are still remarkable. The grand scenes in the movie are very shocking - people's blood is boiling all the time (full of male hormones).
So, if you are going to watch Greek mythology, then don't take the story in the film seriously (after all, it's too distorted), it's easier to watch it with the heart of watching a blockbuster.
