In God of War III, what is the name of the weapon Kratos takes from Hercules?

In God of War III, Kratos takes the Nemean Cestus from Hercules.

The Nemean Cestus is a pair of massive lion-headed gauntlets that Kratos obtains after defeating Hercules. They become one of his selectable weapons and are especially effective against armored enemies and groups of foes.

The weapon’s name refers to the Nemean Lion, the beast associated with the first labor of the mythological Heracles, known in the game as Hercules. This connects the game’s weapon design to classical Greek mythology while giving the item a distinct combat role.

The Nemean Cestus is easy to confuse with other God of War III weapons, including the Claws of Hades, the Nemesis Whip, and the Blade of Olympus. Unlike those weapons, it is specifically acquired from Hercules during his boss encounter.
