ARES GOD OF WAR
The son of Zeus and Hera Ares was the Spirit of War.
Known as the Roman god, Mars. Ares was the brother of Hebe, Eileithyia and possibly of Hephaestus.
ARES He was disliked by most Olympians but loved by Aphrodite, Ares was a god of action and determination.
ARES • When he heard battle, he instictively put on his gleaming helmet, and leaped onto his chariot.
ARES With his sword he rushed into the thick of battle, unconcerned who won or lost as long as blood was shed.
Stories about Ares characterize him and enjoying battle simply for the sake of bloodshed, never really caring who won or lost. Curiously he was also something of a coward and quickly ran back to his father, Zeus, whenever injured.
Despite being a god of war, Ares was not a great fighter. He even lost to mortals in several encounters. Twice, Heracles had defeated him; he also lost to Diomedes, hero in the Trojan War. Both heroes seriously wounded the war god. When Ares was wounded by Diomedes, his scream was louder than thousands of men shouting.
Images of Ares almost always depicthim with helmet, armor, and weapons.
