Ares was the son of Zeus and Hera. Ares was vain and self-centered. He was tall, handsome, and just plain mean. Eris, the spirit of disagreement, traveled with him. They carried with them Pain, Panic, Famine, and Oblivion.  

Neither of his parents were very fond of him. It was difficult to like Ares. Ares did not care who won or lost a battle. He just liked to see bloodshed.
