Ares

The god of war, or more precisely of warlike         frenzy. Though an immortal deity, he was bested by Heracles in battle and was almost killed           when stuffed into a jar by two giants. When         another hero wounded him during the Trojan        War, he received scant sympathy from his father           Zeus.In appearance, Ares was handsome and          cruel. He is often depicted carrying a                    bloodstained spear. His throne on Mount               Olympus was said to be covered in human skin.  The Roman god Mars, with whom Ares was        identified, was the father of Romulus and                Remus, the mythological founders of Rome.          Thus he was more important to the Romans            than his Greek counterpart. He was also more             dignified.
