Deimos in Popular Culture
In the God of War video game series, Deimos is the name of the brother of the series protagonist Kratos. This is not the same Deimos in Greek mythology; instead, he is the son of Zeus and Callisto. He and his brothers helped carry Ajax off the battlefield during the Trojan War when he was injured.
Recent news indicate that Italian supercar maker Lamborghini is trying to trademark the word Deimos for a future SUV.
Deimos and his brother Phobos are the main antagonists in Percy Jackson and the Stolen Chariot, in which they try to discredit their half sister, Clarisse La Rue, in the eyes of their father, Ares.

Famous quotes containing the words popular culture, popular and/or culture:
“Popular culture entered my life as Shirley Temple, who was exactly my age and wrote a letter in the newspapers telling how her mother fixed spinach for her, with lots of butter.... I was impressed by Shirley Temple as a little girl my age who had power: she could write a piece for the newspapers and have it printed in her own handwriting.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“All official institutions of language are repeating machines: school, sports, advertising, popular songs, news, all continually repeat the same structure, the same meaning, often the same words: the stereotype is a political fact, the major figure of ideology.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
“Our culture has become something that is completely and utterly in love with its parent. It’s become a notion of boredom that is bought and sold, where nothing will happen except that people will become more and more terrified of tomorrow, because the new continues to look old, and the old will always look cute.”
—Malcolm McLaren (b. 1946)
