Calliope

Calliope

"I will not let the Gods take her from me again!!!" - Kratos
Calliope was the daughter of Kratos and Lysandra.
" You will die... and Calliope will live!" -Kratos, fighting the Hades Phoenix

Calliope was born and raised in Sparta, living with her mother, Lysandra, in the country. At birth, it was revealed Calliope suffered from a skin disease, which deemed her weak in the eyes of Spartan law, sentencing her to be sacrificed. She was only saved from her fate when Kratos set out on a quest for Ambrosia, after having consulted a healer who gave him the Fire of Apollo. The healer was later revealed to be a disguised Zeus, Calliope's grandfather. While Calliope was easily frightened by her father's violent nature, in truth, Calliope, along with her mother, were the only people to not fear him. She was quite close to her father, always anxiously awaiting Kratos' return from his campaigns to protect Sparta. On one such occasion, Kratos spent enough time with his daughter that he was able to carve a flute for her to play. As Calliope reached adolescence, she became an extremely talented flute player, composing many lilting and emotional melodies.

Both Calliope and her mother were in a village of worshippers for Athena when Kratos and a battalion of his soldiers arrived. Having since declared his allegiance to Ares, Kratos ordered his men to destroy the village and leave no survivors. Kratos personally went into the temple and brutally slayed all within with his own Blades of Chaos, his blood frenzy leaving him blind to whom he was killing, until it was too late; Calliope and her mother, having taken refuge in the temple, were killed by Kratos. It was revealed that it was Ares' manipulation to make Kratos the ultimate warrior that led to their deaths, while Kratos endured immense depression and guilt and has continually sought forgiveness and freedom from his nightmares for his actions that day.
Post-MortemEdit Post-Mortem sectionEdit

After her death, Calliope, instead of being condemned to be amongst the rest of the departed souls of the Underworld, was allowed to live among the pure souls of the Elysium Fields, at the base of the Pillar of the World. Calliope lived well among the lush and peaceful surroundings, and was allowed to wander beyond Elysium's boundaries, throughout the nearby Temple of Persephone, and Calliope took to playing her flute on the dock to the River Styx.
