Mythology
Ares

|
Ares,
the god of war, was fearless for several different reasons. Ares charged the
colossal vile snake called Ekhidna in spite of the possible consequences.
Kronos himself used Ekhidna to confront Zeus in Kronosās overthrowing. Ares
confronted the monster with no fear of the beastās size or its deadly acid
venom that it spits and then slew the monster. Ares fought in the War of the
Gigantes along with the other gods and goddesses and killed one of their
leaders, Gigante Mimon. The Gigantes were offspring of Oranos and Gaia. They
were a race of giants who wore loin cloths and chucked boulders, but Ares
took one of the leaders out. Therefore Ares, the god of war, is heroic, but
gutsy because of his battle with Ekhidna and his actions in the War of the
Gigantes. |
