Kratos vs The Norse Pantheon

[Zevox]

Fate defying, or the attempt thereof, is a common theme in Greek mythology.

I'm curious, what myths are you referring to? I can think of only two ways Greek myths dealt with fate, neither of which allowed it to be defied.

The first involves a fate being pronounced and no one trying to change it. For instance, the prophecy that Thetis' son would be greater than his father, or Achilles' two possible fates in The Iliad.

The second involves someone trying to change his fate and only helping it occur by doing so. For instance, Oedipus, who ran from his home after hearing his fate to kill his father and sleep with his mother, only to end up doing that because he was adopted, so the parents he was trying to stay away from weren't really his, and he only ran into his real ones because he ran away from his adopted home. Or Cronus' attempts to avoid his prophecized overthrow at his son's hand by eating his children, which backfires when Rhea gets sick of it and saves Zeus, who then seeks revenge.
