Which weapon is known as the Blade of Olympus in God of War II?

The Blade of Olympus is the powerful weapon wielded by Zeus and later used by Kratos in God of War II.

At the beginning of the game, Zeus uses the blade to strip Kratos of his divine power and kill him. Kratos survives through the intervention of Gaia and the Titans, then seeks the Sisters of Fate so he can change the events that led to his defeat.

The sword is distinct from the Blade of Artemis, which Kratos can obtain in the original God of War, and from the Blades of Chaos, his signature chained weapons. It also differs from the Barbarian Hammer and Spear of Destiny, which are other weapons featured in God of War II.

The Blade of Olympus remains symbolically important in the Greek-era storyline because it represents both Zeus’s authority and Kratos’s struggle against Olympus.
