It was here that Kratos rescues and speaks with the Oracle of Athens. Kratos then later finds himself back at the temple after escaping the Underworld to see that it has fallen into ruins and that Ares had taken the city. In God of War II, Atropos takes Kratos back in time to the temple during the time when he fought his battle with Ares. There, Kratos fights her on the gigantic sword bridge, which is actually the Blade of the Gods, just beyond the temple.
