Ares
God of war · battle, bloodlust and courage
…avenge the slaying of my son, even though it be my fate to be smitten with the bolt of Zeus, and to lie low in blood and dust amid the dead.
In the myths
In Greek myth, Ares is the son of Zeus and Hera and the god of war in its violence and fury, unlike his half-sister Athena, who stands for strategy.
The Greeks honoured him less than the other great gods. In the Iliad Zeus calls him the most hateful to him of all the gods, and the hero Diomedes wounds him with Athena’s help. He was the lover of Aphrodite, and the Romans knew him as Mars.
