Roman Name: Mars



Ares was the son of Zeus and Hera. His father was king, his mother was queen.

Ares was tall and handsome, and mean and self-centered. His sidekick, Eris, the spirit of disagreement, traveled everywhere with him. They carried four spirits along as well - the spirits of Pain, Panic, Famine, and Oblivion. In Greek mythology, Ares did not care who won or lost a battle.

He just liked to see bloodshed. Most of the other gods stayed as far away from Ares as possible. He only caused trouble
