Ares

In Greek mythology, the god of war, equivalent to the Roman Mars. The son of Zeus and Hera, he was worshipped chiefly in Thrace.

Ares loved Aphrodite, whose husband Hephaestus made the pair the laughing stock of the gods. According to a late tradition, Ares killed Halirrhothius for violence to his daughter Alcippe, and was acquitted at the court of Areopagus by the Olympian gods. In the Trojan War he was wounded by Diomedes. The Aloidae also conquered him and imprisoned him for 13 months.

The worship of Ares was not widespread in Greece. It was probably introduced from Thrace, derived perhaps from ancient war magic.
