This version of The Glory of Sparta (from the God of War 2 soundtrack) plays in God of War 3 during the fight against Hercules, from the moment he steps onto the arena, up to the point Kratos takes the Cestus from him. This is the same version of the song that plays in the first fight of God of War 2, but with a different starting point.
