Ares is the ancient Greek god of war, but unlike Athena (who personifies strategy), he is a symbol of blind rage, bloodshed, and wild strength on the battlefield. Character and place among the gods Son of Zeus and Hera: Despite his noble origin, he was not liked by the other gods. Even his own father, Zeus, in the Iliad tells him that he was his most hated inhabitant of Olympus because of his eternal quarrels. Unpopularity: While Athena was revered as the protector of cities, Ares was more of a god feared by people. His cults were more pronounced in harsher regions such as Thrace. Companions and children Ares is rarely alone in battle. His "retinue" includes: Phobos (Fear) and Deimos (Terror): His sons, who always accompany him. Eris (Strife) and Ennio (Destruction): Sisters or companions who instigate conflict. Love with Aphrodite: His most famous myth is his passionate relationship with the goddess of love. They have several children, including Eros (Love) and Harmony, which shows the balance between war and peace. Symbols and attributes Weapons: Spear with a tip, helmet and shield. Animals: The dog (because of its association with vultures and the battlefield) and the vulture. Roman equivalent: Mars. There is a big difference here - for the Romans, Mars was much more respected, considered the father of Romulus and Remus and the guardian of the Roman state
