[QUOTE="DanseMacabre, post: 2446875, member: 837204"] The Iliad plays down the character of Ares, in earlier myth he delighted in war and often went to battle with his two sons Deimos (Greek for Dread or panic) and Phobos (Fear / Flight). He is often companioned with Enyo, the Goddess of war and often depicted as his sister. Ares loved war for wars sake and killed his rivals, when Aphrodite loved Adonis, Ares killed him over the inability to control his jealousy. If you read The Shield of Hercules by Hesiod, you will see the true murderous and blood-thirsty nature of Ares. [/QUOTE]
