ARESARESGreek God of War

William Kirk

Ares was usually pictured as a handsome, bearded warrior in battle armor

with a helmet and bronze-tipped spear.

His pets were the dog, the vulture, and the boar.

Ares was the god of war, bravery, and

slaughter but he was the god of the

savage side of war.

His opposite was Athena, the goddess of military strategy.

Ares was the son of Hera and her husband, Zeus

never really liked him so she sent him to live with a minor

god.

He never married but he did have many children and he

had an affair with Aphrodite.

this is a

good

movie.

Ares was also the god of murder. He

often killed the weak.

He sent a boar to kill Adonis.

Ares’s companions were Hades, Discord, Panic, and his sons,

Fear and Terror.

His mother, Hera, had to protect him from Zeus when he was younger. He didn’t

need anyone to protect him when he was older.

Ares was from Thrace and

spent much of his time there.

He also spent time at Mount

Olympus where the Greek gods

lived.

The symbols for Ares are mainly a helmet and

bronze-tipped spear.

His other symbols are a chariot and flaming

torch.

Just like this helmet

and spear…
