Ares is the Greek god of courage and war. He is one of the Twelve Olympians, and the son of Zeus and Hera. His name in the Ancient Greek language means bane, ruin, curse, imprecation.
In Greek Mythology Ares, also known as Mars, often represents the physical or violent and untamed aspect of war and is the personification of sheer brutality and bloodlust. He is also well-known as the lover of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who was married to Hephaestus, god of craftsmanship. The union of Ares and Aphrodite created the gods Eros, Anteros, Phobos, Deimos, and Harmonia.
Ares’ most prominent attributes are his helmet and shield, his sword or spear; his animal is a dog, and his bird is the vulture. He is usually portrayed on his war chariot accompanied by his offspring Phobos (Fear) and Deimos (Terror) and his lover, or sister, Enyo (Discord).
