Ares
(âr´ēz) , in Greek religion and mythology, Olympian god of war. He is
usually said to be the son of Zeus and Hera; but in some legends he and
Eris, his twin sister, were born when Hera touched a flower. A fierce
warrior, he loved battle and often took part in conflicts between
mortals. Ares killed Halirrhothios, son of Poseidon, when the youth
violated his daughter, Alcippe. For this crime Ares was judged by a
tribunal of the 12 Olympians and acquitted. The hill on which the trial
took place, the Areopagus, was named for him. The worship of Ares was
not as important as that of Mars, with whom he was identified by the
Romans.

The fourth planet from the Sun
— sometimes called the "Red Planet"
—
and the seventh largest in our
system, known since
prehistoric times and the most
favorable place in the Solar System
— other than Earth, of course — for
human habitation. Mars is a favorite
of science fiction writers.

Roman
god of
war, Greek
Ares.
Before being associated with Ares, Mars was principally an agricultural god in
Roman mythology. Ares was mainly worshipped in Thracia, a region of Greece known
for its fierce people.
The son of Zeus and Hera, Mars was tall and handsome, but vain,
cruel, aggressive and blood-thirsty, personifying the brutal nature of war. He
was unpopular with both gods and humans. His sister Eris, the goddess of strife,
is his constant cohort, but he is also attended by his sons Deimos and
Phobos, as well as Enyo, an
old war-goddess.
