Ares was the son of Zeus and Hera.
His father was king, his mother was queen.
Ares was tall and handsome, and
mean and self-centered. His sidekick, Eris, the spirit of disagreement,
traveled everywhere with him. They carried four spirits along as well -
the spirits of Pain, Panic, Famine, and Oblivion.
In Greek mythology, Ares did not care who
won or lost a battle. He just liked to see bloodshed. Most of
the other gods stayed as far away from Ares as possible. He only caused
trouble
