Deimos in Popular Culture
In the God of War video game series, Deimos is the name of the brother of the series protagonist Kratos. This is not the same Deimos in Greek mythology; instead, he is the son of Zeus and Callisto. He and his brothers helped carry Ajax off the battlefield during the Trojan War when he was injured.
Recent news indicate that Italian supercar maker Lamborghini is trying to trademark the word Deimos for a future SUV.
Deimos and his brother Phobos are the main antagonists in Percy Jackson and the Stolen Chariot, in which they try to discredit their half sister, Clarisse La Rue, in the eyes of their father, Ares.
