AresAres , the god of war is also known as Mars to the Romans. Ares was thought of as cruel, rude, crude, violent and aggressive to the Greeks, on the other hand he was admired in Rome. All of the gods did not like Ares, except Aphrodite the goddess of sensual love , who he got caught cheating with Aphrodite. His parents Zeus the king of the gods and Hera goddess of marriage did not appreciate him at all compared to Athena goddess of wisdom and strategy, his opposite.
