Among the Olympians of Greek mythology, I truly favor Ares, the God of War. He may be detestable, blood-thirsty, reckless and murderous, but he is just so awesome! I mean, he's super strong and all! Even if he's reckless, he can still beat strong guys(not including Otus and Ephiliates), cause he's a god of war. It's just so cool. If you've known his role in the Trojan war, he could've given the Trojans victory, if it weren't for Pallas Athena and Hera encouraging Diomedes to hit him. Wounded tremendously, Ares fled to Olympus, not to tend to his wound, but he poured out complaints on his father, Zeus, first! He complains about Athena's violence and deeds against him, but Zeus looks at him sternly and tells him straight in the face, " I hate you more than anyone in Olympus alive!" And you know what Ares did next? He turned his back, on his own father, the highest god in all of Olympus!
Other than being a ruthless warrior, his soft side comes to Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. As far as I've known, the goddess was the only one who cared for Ares in Olympus. Pretty sweet, but Aphrodite's also got a hitch from other guys, immortal or not. With Aphrodite, he had three, Phobus, Deimus and Harmonia, the wife of the man that founded Thebes. Ares, himself, is also the Father of the Amazons, the women warriors. People may have their negative views about my favorite Olympian about whether he's strong but dumb, but for me, he's a totally awesome hero!
