[QUOTE="erisiantrubble, post: 2664568, member: 805717"] Love and war are intimately entangled in the ancient world. In many of the societies that early Peloponnese would have traded with, their love and war deities are one in the same. Ares is not universally hated. He was a war god, so anyone going to war or engaging in battle would have made offerings and asked for his blessings. Unlike his Roman counterpart (Mars), Ares is also a god of bloodlust and passion. He is the epitome of male virility. Is it any wonder that a goddess of passionate love and children would be attracted to him? Incidentally, Aphrodite's marriage to Hephaestus is generally depicted as something she entered into under duress. She has nothing but distain for him. [/QUOTE]
