Ares

Ares



Roman name: Mars

Ares was the god of war. He battled with Hercules and was almost killed when two giants stuffed him in a jar. Also, when he was wounded in the Trojan War, his father Zeus gave him little sympathy. He was depicted as handsome and cruel and carried a bloody spear. It was also said that his throne was made of human skin. He was the father of Romulus and Remus "the founders of Rome". More important to the Romans than the Greeks.
