Ares, The FEARLESS God of War in Greek Mythology Explained

[@LeeannProctor]

The actor who played ares on heracles/xena did a fabulous job. My favorite portrayal of ares.

[@AncientMythsAndTales]

Ares may be the god of war, but that actor definitely won our hearts! Talk about a fierce competition for our favorite character!

I had no idea Zeus hated his own son Ares that much.

[@AncientMythsAndTales]

It’s surprising, isn’t it? The dynamics in Greek mythology can be quite intense!

[@RavenIdril2966]

Not everyone disliked Ares, Aphrodite had the hots for him

[@AncientMythsAndTales]

For real! Ares had that whole "bad boy" vibe going on. Makes sense Aphrodite would be into him!

[@lilacgirl-z8w]

With parents like zeus and hera of course he turned out as a bad seed.

[@AncientMythsAndTales]

With Zeus and Hera as parents, he didn't stand a chance at being anything but a troublemaker!

[@Callumdevan17]

Ares was a coward in mythology not a fearless warrior, you confuse him with his Roman counterpart Mars.

[@AncientMythsAndTales]

Totally! Ares was more about the drama than the action. Thanks for calling that out!
