Ares (; , Árēs ) is the Greek god of war and courage. He is one of the Twelve Olympians, and the son of Zeus and Hera. Many Greeks were ambivalent towards him. He embodies the physical valor necessary for success in war but can also personify sheer brutality and bloodlust, in contrast to his sister Athena, whose martial functions include military strategy and generalship. An association with Ares endows places, objects, and other deities with a savage, dangerous, or militarized quality.
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.
