8. Birth of Ares• Ares was the child of Hera and Zeus, born of an immaculate
conception. You see Hera was rather jealous of Zeus who was able to
conceive a child, Dionysus, by putting the child into his thigh after the
mother died. Hera took a magical herb that allowed her to have a child
immaculately, this child was Ares.
• Zeus because he was not actually the father of Ares (no one was really)
was not one to excessively dote upon infant Ares. He was rather
negligent. Once during infancy Ares had been abducted by two giants,
known as the Aloadai, and they had trapped him in a gigantic bronze
jar, to never release him. Zeus however paid little attention. It was in
the end the Aloadai mother who discovered the truth and told Hermes
who assisted releasing Ares from the bronze jar.

9. Ares
• Seeing the unsafe environment for Ares (being trapped in bronze jars for several years is
not the best toddler care), Hera decided to move Ares somewhere else safer, thus she
chose Priapus, who trained and raised Ares until he was a fully grown man.
• Ares the God of War had one main adversary, his sister Athena, who was also a deity of
warfare. Though they were both deities of warfare they represented different aspects of
war itself. Ares was the God of war and bloodlust, he represented the primal nature of
war, its brutality, and its violence. He fought just on instinct and his own rage and
personal fury he had, and fought primarily for the sake of fighting.

10. ARES
• However on the opposite spectrum was Athena the Goddess of
Wisdom and Warfare. Her warfare was the tactical warfare that
calculated each move carefully with strategic strikes in order to get the
job done. As can be seen brother and sister were very different, and
from this vast difference many conflicts arose.
