Myths About Aries The Greek God

Who Was Aries The Greek God?
ARIES (MARS)-The son of Hera, Aries was the god of war. He was a top-notch fighter, and reveled in the glory. On almost all other issues, however, he cared very little about.
Keep in mind that his title is the God of War, not the God of Victory. He didn't even consider victory to be necessary for enjoyment, just the violence and slaughter. Athena was the only one who was able to restrain him, and then only sometimes. She most often did when the battles he wished to fight in were not his to interfere in. Athena was the goddess of restraint.

Popular Myths
Compared to other gods, fewer stories are available about Ares. Most people believe this is because he was involved with warfare as a whole, rather than individual storied events like most other gods. This is one of the tales about Ares (also spelled Aries).

The Bard's Tale
In the tale sung by the bard in the hall of Alcinous, Helios the Sun-God found out that Ares and Aphrodite were having an affair in the hall of Hephaestus. Hephaestus wanted to catch the two of them "doing the deed", so he set a trap. Eventually, he managed it, and caught the two of them making love. Still, Hephaestus was not satisfied with his revenge. He told other Olympian gods to come by. Some gods said that Aphrodite was beautiful, and others wanted to trade places with Aries, but all of them found it funny. After they finished, and Aries discovered that they were being watched, he fled the scene quickly.

Ya'll are funny, because you guys are not reading correctly. You don't even understand what this is telling us. LOL Myths: the term mythology can refer to either the study of myths or a body of myths.For example, comparative mythology is the study of connections between myths from different cultures, whereas Greek mythology is the body of myths from ancient Greece. The term "myth" is often used colloquially to refer to a false story; however, the academic use of the term generally does not pass judgment on its truth or falsity.
You tell em!!!!!!!!

what i think is funny is how people will say this is ridiculous, however they believe an ancient man lives above us in the clouds, and he has 10 magical things we cant do. And if we break these rules he sends us to a place of fire and pain and anguish to rot and die for all of eternity.....But he loves us.... haha
