"As we speak, Athens is on the verge of destruction. It is the will of Ares, my brother, that my great city falls." - Athena
The Siege of Athens was the battle inside the city of Athens that was directly caused by Ares, the God of War. The attack on Athens was a result of Ares' hatred toward his sister Athena, the patron goddess of Athens. Due to Zeus' order of noninterference between gods, Athena is unable to defend her city and thus grants Kratos his divine mission. During this siege, Kratos is busy making his way through Athens to get to the Temple of the Oracle, and ultimately the Desert of Lost Souls. During this trek, the horrible destruction that is being caused by Ares can be witnessed. The city lies in ruin, and entire armies of Athenians can be seen marching towards Ares. Huge barrages of arrows and firebolts are exchanged, and a few hundred soldiers are crushed beneath Ares' feet. Meanwhile, his minions do battle in areas of the city, and slaughter any citizens who get in their way.
When Kratos returns to do battle with Ares,the weeks long seige had ended, and the city was on the verge of destruction. However, despite the damage it had taken, the death of the God of War allowed it to live again.
