Greek History
Attica was a coastal city region in ancient Greece, and the area around the city of Athens.
In God of War: Chains of Olympus
In God of War: Chains of Olympus, Attica was where Kratos began his quest. It was where he fought off an invading Persian army. As he made his way through the city, he also fought and killed the Persian King, and ultimately the Basilisk that had terrorized the city of Attica.
