| Background information |
Ares is a god in Greek mythology. He is the god of savage war and bloodlust, and represents the untamed, wild aspects of conflict. He is one of the Twelve Olympians. His parents are Zeus and Hera. He had a twin sister called Eris. Neither parent liked him. He is considered murderous and bloody. In the Trojan War, he fought on the side of the Trojans. He had six children with Aphrodite. His homeland is Thrace.
Etymology
Ares' name is believed to be derived from the Greek word ἀρήσ (arē), the Ionic form of the Doric ἀρά (ara), which translates to "bane" or "ruin".[1][2]
