Kratos (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Kratos or Cratus (Ancient Greek: Κράτος, English translation: "strength") was the son of Pallas and Styx, and the personification of strength and power. Kratos and his siblings—Nike ("victory"), Bia ("force") and Zelus ("zeal")—were the winged enforcers (sky tides) of Olympian God Zeus. The figure makes an appearance in Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound, in which he is one of the trio that binds the titular Titan, the other two being Hephaestus and Bia.
