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 enjoyed the violence and destruction of war. Ares was not a deity highly appreciated among the other gods of Mount Olympus, and he was frequently portrayed as a brutish, barbaric, and violent being.
He was also often depicted as an adulterer, constantly seeking new lovers. Despite his barbaric personality traits, the lord of war had many followers and worshipers, especially soldiers, and those seeking his protection before going into conflicts. He also had a temple in Athens, which served as his center of worship.
In addition, Ares was an important figure in Greek literature, appearing in several epic poems, plays, and more. 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 portrayed as a more complex figure, also embodying positive traits, such as courage and fearlessness in the face of battle, as well as being seen as the last solution to a conflict when tactical thinking alone is insufficient.
