Ares

Ares je grčki bog rata, osobito njegova nasilja, bijesa i kaosa. Sin Zeusa i Here često se sukobljava s Atenom, koja utjelovljuje promišljenije ratovanje. Njegove priče pokazuju da velika snaga i ljubav prema borbi ne jamče pobjedu.

Je li Ares isti bog kao Mars?

Aresa i Marsa smatrali su istim božanstvom, ali imali su različite uloge u grčkoj i rimskoj tradiciji. Ares često utjelovljuje razornu ratnu jarost. Mars je također imao počasno mjesto kao zaštitnik Rima i otac njegovih mitskih osnivača, Romula i Rema.

Zašto Ares gubi bitke kad je bog rata?

To što je Ares bog rata ne znači da je nepobjediv. Njegovi porazi često suprotstavljaju sirovu agresiju vještini, planiranju ili božanskoj pomoći. U Ilijadi Atena pomaže Diomedu da ga rani, pokazujući da sama žestoka snaga ne može upravljati bitkom.
