Ares is the Greek god of war and one of the twelve Olympian gods of ancient Greek mythology. He was the son of Zeus and Hera. He was often depicted as a bloodthirsty warrior who relished the violence and destruction of war. Ares was not a very appreciated deity among the other gods of Olympus and was often portrayed as a brute, barbaric, and violent being.
He was also frequently portrayed as an adulterer, constantly seeking new lovers. Despite his barbaric traits, the god of war had many followers and worshipers, especially soldiers, and those who sought his protection before going into battle. He also had a temple in Athens, which served as his center of worship.
Furthermore, Ares was an important figure in Greek literature, appearing in several epic poems, plays, etc. In many literary works, Ares represented the destructive and chaotic side of war, in contrast to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, who represented its strategic and tactical aspects. In some cases, Ares was depicted as a more complex figure, also showing positive aspects, such as representing courage and fearlessness in the face of war, as well as being seen as the last solution to a conflict when tactical thinking is not enough.
