Ares

krigets, ursinnets och det besinningslösa våldets gud i grekisk mytologi

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 (grek. Άρης) var krigets, ursinnets och det besinningslösa våldets gud i grekisk mytologi. Han var son till Zeus och Hera. Han identifieras med den förgrekiske krigsguden Enyalios. Ares deltog ofta i stora krig. Han avbildas ofta med ett spjut och en brinnande fackla. Gamen var hans kännetecken. Ares motsvaras i den romerska mytologin av guden Mars och var där en betydligt viktigare gestalt än Ares var bland de grekiska gudarna.
