Zeus: Release the Kraken!
Spyros: One day, somebody's gonna have to make a stand. One day, somebody's gonna have to say enough.
[last lines]
Zeus: You may not want to be a god, Perseus, but after feats like yours, men will worship you. Be good to them. Be better than we were. And if you insist on continuing this mundane human existence, I won't have you do it alone. You're the son of Zeus, after all!
[first lines]
Io: The oldest story ever told are written in the stars. Stories of time before man and gods, when Titans ruled the earth. The Titans were powerful but their reign was ended by their own sons: Zeus, Poseiden, and Hades. Zeus convinced his brother Hades to create a beast so strong it could defeat their parents. And from his own flesh Hades gave birth to an
unspeakable horror... the Kraken. Zeus became king of the heavens. Posieden, king of the sea. And Hades, tricked by Zeus, was left to rule the underworld in darkness and in misery. It was Zeus who created man and man's prayers fed the gods' immortality. But in time, mankind grew restless. They began to question the gods and, finally, rise up against them. Into this world, a child was born. A boy
who would change everything.
Hades: You are specks of dust beneath our fingernails. Your very breath is a gift from Olympus. You have insulted powers beyond your comprehension.
[Perseus draws his divine sword at Hades]
Hades: I'm a god! I will live forever!
Perseus: But not here.
[hurls the sword at Hades, and a lightning bolt from Zeus hits Hades at the same time]
Andromeda: [after Perseus rescues Andromeda] The boats are coming for us.
Perseus: For you, not for me.
Andromeda: You won't stay, will you? Perseus, Argos needs a ruler!
Perseus: I cannot be a king. I serve you better as a man.
Andromeda: Have you seen what's happening out there? Have you even bothered to look?
Hades: In 10 days, when the sun is eclipsed, I will unleash the Kraken. Argos will be swept from the earth and all of you with it. Unless you sacrifice the princess you so foolish compare to the gods. Only her blood will sate the Kraken and Zeus, who you have so offended. Choose your penance, Argos. Destruction of sacrifice. This is the will of Zeus.
[turns his attention to
Perseus]
Hades: The will of your father.
