What is the original text in which the Greek God, Ares, is on trial for murder?

Ares murdered Halirrhothius for attempting to rape his daughter, Alcippe. I find this myth referenced in other texts but cannot find the myth itself. Can someone help me? Trying to write a term paper, here!

It is mentioned briefly by several ancient authors but it doesn't seem to have ever been given a fuller treatment than that, at least not in any source that still exists today. These authors are [Pseudo-]Apollodorus in his Bibliotheca, "Library"; Pausanias in his Description of Greece; Seneca in "Hercules Furens"; Suidas, in the Suda; and Euripides in his "Electra."
