Ares

Gott des Krieges in der griechischen Mythologie

AI overview

Ares is the Greek god of war and courage, one of the twelve most important deities in ancient Greek religion and the son of Zeus and Hera. He represents both the physical bravery needed in battle and the brutal violence of war itself, which is why the ancient Greeks had mixed feelings about him—especially compared to his sister Athena, who represented the strategic and leadership aspects of warfare instead.

Ares (altgriechisch Ἄρης Árēs; neugriechisch Άρης Áris) ist in der griechischen Mythologie der Gott des schrecklichen Krieges, des Blutbades und Massakers. Er gehört zu den zwölf olympischen Gottheiten, den Olympioi. Obwohl die Bedeutung nicht ganz gleich ist, wurde er später von den Römern dem eigenen Kriegsgott Mars gleichgestellt. Doch stand Mars bei den Römern höher im Ansehen als Ares bei den Griechen.
