Steeds of Time concept art
"The Steeds of Time. A gift from the great Titan, Cronos. His unsuccessful attempt to gain the favor of the Sisters of Fate and change the destiny which the Oracle foretold." - Gaia
Long ago the great Titan Cronos gave the Sisters of Fate the Steeds of Time as a gift, hoping to change his fate. The Steeds of Time were used by the Sisters of Fate to pull the Island of Creation away from the edge of the Earth, when the Earth became larger.
Upon reaching the island Kratos comes to the steeds, where he encounters and kills the Greek hero Theseus. After that, he traverses the Steeds; receives the power of Cronos' Rage; and finally unhinges all four Steeds. Kratos then "whips" the steeds into motion with his chained blades, and uses them to connect the Island to the Temple for him to go across.
