Template:Infobox gods "How much is enough Kratos? When will it end?" - Lysandra
Lysandra was a Spartan woman who became Kratos' wife and mother to his daughter; Calliope. Though Kratos had many women in his time, he felt truly connected to her and considered her his soul mate and true love. Lysandra was also the only person who did not fear him during his service to Ares, and on more than one occasion questioned her husband's reasons for the reckless slaughter of many innocent people.
Pre-God of War
She and her daughter were both brutally slain by Kratos during his attack on a village of Athena's followers, when he killed all, including them, inside the village temple during a blood frenzy. Kratos has continuously sought forgiveness and peace for his actions that day.
In God of War
She and Calliope both reappeared many years later as a cruel illusion that was forged by Ares, in an attempt to defeat Kratos during their final battle. Kratos proved stronger than Ares thought, and defended them against his doppelgangers. This was to no avail, as she
Kratos' wife, and his daughter Calliope
and Calliope were killed again when the Blades of Chaos were commanded to impale them again by their master, Ares.
In God of War II
In God of War II, when Kratos is grabbed by the Kraken, he then has a vision in which he sees his wife in a field with the view of a burning Sparta down below. He pleads forgiveness to his beloved but it is revealed that Gaia is actually speaking to him as his wife, and tells him how he must go on and defeat Zeus.
In God of War III
During his final battle with Zeus, Kratos retreats deep into his own soul and journeys through its darkness with the aid of Pandora and finally manages to forgive himself for killing Lysandra and Calliope.

Trivia
- Lysandra's name was never given or mentioned in any of the games. However, in issue #1 of the comics, her name is finally revealed to be Lysandra.
- Lysandra's personality is rather odd for an ancient Spartan woman, as she greatly detests Kratos' rampant warmongering and slaughter. In reality, Spartan women of the time period encouraged their husbands to be ruthless.
