Kratos isn't the only Greek native to have emigrated to Midgard. A treasure map found in Stone Falls tells the story of a petty crook who jumped on the chance to steal a key and ship previously belonging to a boat captain that had been gobbled up by a hydra.

The tale mimics the exact same events that transpire in the opening moments of the original God of War, when Kratos booted that very same captain into the belly of the aforementioned mythical beast.

The poor bloke is referenced and appears several times throughout the series, becoming a dearly-remembered running joke that Santa Monica continues to memorialise in Kratos' latest adventure as a bite-sized slice of fan service.
