You think the Ancient Greeks has their own “fanfics” based on there own mythical heroes?

Think about it, like with how many people knew of the myths of Heracles, Atlanta, Theseus and the like, who’s to say there wasn’t some obscure local story teller or two making up their own stories about them that were lost to time?

Do you think Kratos from the God of War series is kind of a Mary Sue by actual Greek myth standards?

I hope this isn’t too dumb of a question but based on the original trilogy, he basically does break most if not all of the rules in actual Ancient Greek storytelling. He just mindlessly chops through everything that gets in his way, he slaughters the entire pantheon and it’s heroes, he barely has any flaws and the flaws he does have are never exploited, and he almost never loses and when he does he just comes back from literal death for round 2 and almost immediately wins.
