About Ares, the Greek God of War

While these traits were considered signs of power by the ancients, Ares was not admired as much as some people think. He appears to enjoy violence for its own sake, and had a tendency to act before thinking. As a God he usually got away with it, but us mere mortals recognize these qualities as harmful.
