* OneWingedAngel: A giant, armored bird.

* SupermodelStrut: Other than wearing clothes which barely cover her rear, she walks in a very provocative way, which is notable since as a WingedHumanoid, she doesn't even have to walk, implying she's just doing it to provoke Kratos.

* DepravedBisexual: She regularly cheats on Hephaestus, having threesomes with her slavegirls and then with Kratos (optional, by the player's choice).
* ExtremeLibido: She is first depicted having a threesome with her slave maidens, then Kratos arrives and she pushed her slave maidens away as she was very eager to have a go with Kratos. Her slavegirls are no different; after sandwiching their goddess, they become so aroused watching her OptionalSexualEncounter with Kratos that they end up having sex with each other on the spot.
* GorgeousGreek: Being the greek goddess of love and sexuality, Aphrodite appears as a young woman of incredible beauty. She is slender, tall and dark skinned, while her breasts are large and perfectly shaped. The goddess [[ProudBeauty proudly exhibits]] her beauty by wearing an outfit that leaves most of her body naked.

* HotCoffeeMinigame: In ''III''. Unlike in other games (where the focus point during the button mash is an innocuous piece of scenery), this one has the focus on her slavegirls feeling each other up and saying [[BreakingTheFourthWall that it's not for kids]].

* SkewedPriorities: Not really her (she's a goddess after all, she can handle things), but her apparently human slavegirls: the very world is crumbling in ruin around them outside, but they only think of "sandwiching" their lady.

* TheVamp: She cares more about sexual pleasure over anything else, has no sympathy over pushing away her slavegirls so she could seduce Kratos into her bed and doesn't feel bad bashing her husband while openly cheating on him.

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:After Kratos frees Helios and puts the sun back in the sky, the sun god saves him from falling to his death. His manifestation in ''Valhalla'' bitterly reminisces on what a mistake it was]].

* YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler:You Killed My Brother, Wife, And Niece! And Nephew, but no one really likes Ares.]]

* {{Irony}}: Ares's beard lacks a mustache, which have a history of being associated with military services[[note]] in many militaries around the world, full beards are considered improper or are just not allowed. Mustaches are accepted as long as they are neatly trimmed and well-groomed (they were even mandatory in certain countries while serving the military) [[/note]]. Lacking a mustache is seen by other cultures as a symbol of non-violence and pacifism, and anti-war protestors would either grow beards or shave only their mustaches as a rejection of militarism. Growing out a beard and shaving your mustache would however have been standard practice in the military of ancient Sparta.

* JerkassGods: Many of them. The comic is reveals that in order to see which one of them was better, they forced their chosen champions to take part in the quest for Ambrosia... by plaguing their home-lands with disease, famine and plague. Being infected by [[spoiler:the evils of PandorasBox]] certainly didn't help.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: They don't call him the god of war for nothing. He ''kills'' Kratos with no effort whatsoever in the first game ([[DeathIsCheap for all the good that ever does]]), and puts up one hell of a fight at the end of the game.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He ''really'' lives up to his reputation as the Ruler of the Ocean. He's capable of tackling a Titan with the force of a meteor and knocking it off Mount Olympus and punching a hole in him.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's the Ruler of the Dead and one of the most powerful bosses.

The Greek Gods are a race of powerful, immortal beings who control the forces of nature and magic and who rule over large portions of the Earth, including animals and mortals. The Olympian gods had a king, Zeus, who reigned over both man and god from his divine throne on Mount Olympus. They served as minor protagonists in the first game, helping Kratos with his quest to kill Ares; however, as the series progressed, they turned into the series' main antagonists.
