 The Colossus of Rhodes 

I noticed the summary of God of War II stated that Zeus brought the Colossus of Rhodes to life. In the game, a bird is shown flying past the Colossus, and brings it to life when it touches it. The same bird then touches Kratos and shrinks him to his normal size. Kratos cries out ""Athena!"", not Zeus. Athena also stated earlier in the game that she was the one who gave Kratos his godly powers, and that he should not turn his back on her. It can be deduced from that that it is Athena who brings the Colossus to life, not Zeus."
