Ares

God of war, son of Zeus and Hera. Homer's Ares is wounded by Diomedes, told by Zeus "most hateful to me art thou of all gods", felled by Athena with a boundary stone, and caught in Hephaestus's net with Aphrodite; he was once shut in a bronze jar for thirteen months. Hesiod makes him father of Panic and Fear; Apollodorus and Pausanias record his trial on the Areopagus.
