ARES

Bow down to me! I said bow down to me! Dont you recognize me, mortals? Dont you?! I am
Ares. The God of war, cruelty, hatred, civil order, fear, courage, and bloodshed. Son of Zeus and
Hera.
I hate all of the Gods, including my own father Zeus.. He was negligent. Once during my
infancy I had been abducted by two giants, known as the Aloadai, and they had trapped me in a
gigantic bronze jar, never to be released. Hera decided to move me somewhere else safer, thus
she chose Priapus, who trained and raised me until I was a fully grown man. They say that I am
the least favored god among all gods because of my brutal nature. They see me filled with rage
and lust for blood. But I am not all evil. I love fighting for the sake of bloodshed, but also
fighting to save or avenge someone.
The sky darkens as I enter the battle; my merciless warrior spirit makes me thirsty for
blood. However, Athena and I are completely different from each other. She is known to be good
in war with her tactics and strategies, but I strongly disagree. I am the best in the fields of battle
than my sister. I, the god of war, dont fear anyone. My bravery and strength will strike fear into
the hearts of my enemies including you, mortals. Arriving on the battlefield with a chariot pulled
by four fiery horses, thousands of mortals are beheaded as I call for blood and death!
I am known to be the bravest among all; bloodshed runs into my hands with rage and
wrath among everyone.Under my power I command everyone to feel the wrath and rage of this
world and extinguished everyone with their bare hands. I love seeing mortals kill each other. Am
I so cruel? I doubt you dont know my story mortals.! Detested by all other gods?! What would
you feel when you get detested by your own parents? Agony is running into blood and soul as I
avenge for myself, slaying demons, and destroying Kroisos as I gain a place given by a very
important Olympian god.
I guess you think Im totally in love with war? Dont you mortals? But I had a forbidden
love with Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty, who is married to Hephaestus, my own brother.
It was long before when Aphrodite sneak around me when Hephaestus worked his forge making
weapons for the Gods late into night as we made love, but one night Aphrodite took me to her
own bed. In the deep cover of the forest, Helios, the Sun, rose the next morning and peered into
Aphrodite room and told Hephaestus what he saw.
Full of shame in the room as we get trapped by my own disabled brother who dragged us
naked before of all the gods laughing. I, who is considered cunning, got trapped with my own
brother? But once freed with the chains and shamed before all the gods we separate for a while.
After the long wait, Hephaestus died that allowed us to find our way back to each other and
carried on an affair that gives us our five children but we stayed together, not husband and wife,
but as friends and lovers, two sides of the same coin, for the rest of time.
