Ares - Greek god of war
Ares was the Olympian god of war and the son of Zeus and Hera. He often personifies bare cruelty and violence, unlike Athena, who just depicts its destructive ability. As a result, neither the gods nor the people liked him. The dog and the vulture were among his treasured creatures.
Ares' name appears to have been an ancient term for combat or war, which is very appropriate. Ares is frequently shown in art with a helmet, a shield, and either a bloody spear or a sword. He is followed by hounds or vultures and pulls a chariot with four horses. Deimos and Phobos, his sons, are occasionally shown standing beside him.
Ares was a controversial deity who never progressed past the stereotype of a godly battle-frenzy butcher, in contrast to his nobler Roman counterpart Mars. Ares was hated by practically everyone because he was the brutal god of pointless battle. Zeus once referred to Ares as "the most unpleasant of all the gods" and said that if he hadn't been his son, he would have undoubtedly perished in Tartarus alongside Cronus and the Titans. This occurs after Ares is wounded in battle by Diomedes.
On the field of combat, Ares is rarely seen by himself. Usually, he is accompanied by a gang of murderous individuals, with a few demonic companions representing the horror of battle.
