Kratos using the Icarus Wings
"I will reach the Sisters of Fate, and I will your wings to do so!" - Kratos
Greek Mythology
These are the feathered wings that belonged to the hero Icarus. They where constructed out of wax and bird feathers. As Icarus and his father Daedalus flew from the island to freedom, Icarus flew too close to the sun, and the wings melted.
In God of War II
When Kratos encounters Icarus, he battles him down the Great Chasm and then off his wings and takes them for himself. With the wings, Kratos can "glide" through the air, allowing him to travel across much greater distances than just jumping. While Kratos is flying however, the wings slowly fall apart, and if they dissipate enough before Kratos lands on solid ground, he'll automatically fall straight out of the air and to the ground.
