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.[1][2] Kratos and his siblings - Nike ("victory"), Bia ("force") and Zelus ("zeal") - were the winged enforcers of Olympian God Zeus. In another myth Kratos is the Titan who binds Prometheus at the request of the god Hephaestus.[3]
