What does Zeus and Apollo and Athena mean?

Well, since they're ancient Greek names, it'd be hard to answer, but what their deities and their little stories I can answer. Zeus-Lord of the Skies, ruler of Olympus, made his father [Cronus] throw up siblings, has 114 wives and 140 children Apollo-God of the Sun, music, poetry, archery, wolves, healing and hawks. Hates Hera for making his mother [Leto] give birth to him and his twin sister [Artemis] wherever sun had not shown or on land. Athena-Goddess of wisdom, war-strategy, owls, and olives. Was fully grown out of Zeus's head, after Hephaestus cracked it open. Poseidon and Athena aren't fond of each other because Athena got named after her [Athens] and when Medusa and Poseidon had sex in Athena's temple, she turned Medusa into a hag.


How did Athena God of War die?

Athena goddess of war and wisdom did not die. While Kratos stabs the Blade of Olympus into Zeus repeatedly, Athena tries to stop him. Kratos grew even angrier at Athena for trying to stop him. She didn't want to fight him, and in the struggle Zeus gets up and tries to flee, but Kratos sees him and rushes at him, but Athena throws herself in the way of the blow. Kratos, horrified, stops chasing Zeus to tend to her wounds. Kratos asks why she continues to protect Zeus. She states that she does it to protect Olympus and without Zeus, Olympus would fall. Also, the gods will protect Zeus to their death. She also reveals to Kratos that Zeus is his father. Kratos refuses to accept this and snaps going insane with rage and refusing to serve the gods, or back down, and he will kill all the gods. He stops to mourn Athena's death as she dies very similar to Ares, in a green explosion. http://godofwar.wikia.com/wiki/Athena
