What is Ares, God of War, life story?

Question

need some sources

Answer 1

Ares is the son of Zeus and Hera. He was disliked by both parents. He is the god of war. He is considered murderous and bloodstained but, also a coward. When caught in an act of adultery with Aphrodite her husband Hephaestus is able publically ridicule him. His bird is the vulture. His animal is the dog.

ARES Also known as ENYALIUS
The son of ZEUS and HERA, he turned out to be a swaggering bully boy and yobbo God. He had the hots for APHRODITE and even after being caught in a net by HEPHAESTUS in full flagrante delicto this did not diminish his adulterous activities. The only thing he enjoyed more was war.

ARES loved battles and violence. Never mind which side he was on, so long as there was plenty of blood.

His bloodthirsty sons DEIMOS and PHOBOS are in constant attendence, and if all is peaceful, it doesn't take long for his sister ERIS to knock up a little strife.

He was not very popular with most of the other Gods. He sided mostly with the Trojans in the Big Bust Up, and was wounded by a mortal with a little help from ATHENA who blatted him with a rock, and he fled howling back to Olympus.

HERACLES sent him packing with an arrow in the thigh after killing one of his obnoxious offspring, and the ALOADAE held him captive in a bronze jar for over a year because they could.

His mortal sons were so vile HERACLES killed two, Diomedes (see MARES-OF-DIOMEDES) and Cicnus, and APOLLO put paid to another, Phlegyas. Talking of HERACLES, he also dealt with the iron-feathered STYMPHALIAN-BIRDS which ARES kept as pets.

When the Romans re-cast him, he was identified with MARS, the Blood-Red Planet of War. It was only then that he got any respect.

I appreciate the old myths as folk tales more than I actually read them, so from that perspective, it sounds like it could be interesting. The best part about the Zeus myths is always that stipulation, you know, how is Zeus going to mess this up for everyone? I kind of figured that Zeus would let Ares live, but only long enough for him to suffer a horrible death... but maybe that's more 'sad' than good. It doesn't strike me as too 'God of War,' though, and it took me a minute to figure out the Dogma reference. EDIT: Yeah, the Dogma thing is really more of a matter of motivation. Thinking about it, if I saw a book called 'The Price of Peace' on the shelf, I would be mighty disappointed if it wasn't a political expose. Again, I don't venture into the fantasy/mythology section too often, so it's just a thought.

Answer 4

In Greek mythology, Ares is the son of Zeus (ruler of the gods) and Hera. Though often referred to as the Olympian god of war, he is more accurately the god of savage war, or bloodlust, or slaughter personified.
Among the Hellenes, Ares was always distrusted. Though Ares' half-sister Athena was also considered to be a war deity, Athena's stance was that of strategic warfare while Ares' tended to be the unpredictable violence of war.

Answer 7

As the sun moves through the 12 signs or constellations of the Zodiac, it "highlights" the energies and themes of the sign/constellation it falls in that month. So, during the first month of the Astrological calendar from March 21st through April 18th, the sun is in Aries, named for the Greek god of war. Warrior issues will be more prevalent in the world in general and in individuals whose birth charts reflect the Warrior as a major archetypal influence. If your "inner Warrior" is alive and well, you will feel especially empowered this month. If your Warrior is wounded, you may feel angry, frustrated, temperamental, and out of balance. However, the energies of love and compassion can balance the shadows of Warrior when Venus enters Aries, April 7th . To determine if you, a friend or family member is a Warrior, read on.

Each sign has a planet that reflects the same theme and energies and in the case of Aries, the planet is Mars, named for the Roman god of war. Each sign and planet is assigned an element (fire, earth, air or water) and a modality (cardinal, fixed or mutable). Aries-Mars, the Warrior, is the energy of cardinal fire, the flaring charge into life. Thus, springtime is the appropriate season for this force. Aries is also a yang/masculine energy. There are many other correspondences such as symbols, colors, gemstones, animals, mythic gods and goddesses personality characteristics, physical strengths and weaknesses and interests and career choices associated with each sign. If you are a strong Warrior archetype, you will be inclined to identify with the following correspondences, although sometimes the opposite effect will occur if the Warrior is an undeveloped potential in your personality.

Warriors like red, the color of fire and blood. The planet Mars was so named because it appeared red in the heavens and red gemstones such as Garnet and Ruby are stones warriors wore into battle as protection against wounds, bleeding and death. White and Black can also be colors of the Warrior representing the hopes, light, truth and integrity that a Spiritual Warrior/knight aspires to, and the darkness, violence and death of war. The three colors are predominant in the flags and shields of warriors ancient and modern. The astrological sign or "glyph" for Aries (above left) represents ram's horns. Since Aries rules the head, (more on that later), the ram, a powerful animal that battles with head and horns, has come to represent the constellation Aries. Rams horns were used as instruments to sound the battle call and were worn on warriors' helmets as a sign of god-like strength. The wolf, hawk, eagle, bear and horse are also animals associated with the Warrior because of their fierceness, strength and courage. The symbol for Mars, also the symbol for masculine energy in general, (above right) represents the arrow or spear and shield of the Warrior.

So this is all fascinating lore you say, but how does it apply to me and my life in the modern world? If your birthday is between March 21st and April 18th, your sun is in Aries the Warrior. There are a number of other ways the Warrior can emerge in your chart. For example, your rising sign (9:00 on your chart) is Aries or the moon was in Aries at your birth, Mars resides in the sign of Aries or the first house, or you have a cluster of 3 or more planets in Aries. A complete analysis of your chart will reveal all possible Warrior options, but if you find any of the above to be true, in Archetypal Astrology/Psychology, we would say the Warrior is one of your major archetypes that guides and informs your entire life.

Understanding this helps you to know your self and honor your positive Warrior nature while dealing with the shadow elements that may plague you. If the following description rings true, you are a Warrior. (Note the pronoun used in describing the Warrior is masculine gender because the Warrior is a yang energy. However, Warriors may be either men or women.)

The Warrior is the individual ego rushing into the conscious light of life.

The Warrior seems to have a great mission to prove his existence as an individual. He has a sense of the great life force within him, yet may be shy and timid when confronted with the need to display that energy. Having a pioneering and adventurous spirit, the Warrior represents the fiery exuberance and innocence of youth and is related to the Fool archetype, the innocent beginner on the path of life, that may be very naive about the ways of the world. Self centered in both positive and shadow ways, he often seems to judge all of existence by the extent of his own consciousness. The more limited his personal experience, the more limited is his world view. Honoring this Warrior/Fool theme, April begins with the Day of the Fool.

The Warrior has tremendous potential energy for positive creation and his mission is strongly focused on the search for self identity and personal direction. He will spend much of his energy testing himself, (and others) seeing if he has the ability to accomplish his ideas and ideals. The Warrior's strength is independence, an enormous inner strength, and a strong intelligence, bravery and courage. His shadow weaknesses are low self esteem, lack of drive and ambition, and immature behavior which can manifest as a quick temper and an impulsive nature, or as wimpy manipulative game playing.

Warriors can be domineering, and at worst, violent and raging. But, often after the fiery temper blows, peace reigns once more. However, the "warrior power" is just under the surface and can be sensed by others who may find the Warrior a little scary and intimidating to be around. Feeling this rejection, the Warrior then gets into a "what's wrong with me" low self esteem cycle which builds more anger and more rejection. The Warrior has difficulty with subtleties, often seeing only the obvious, and misjudging the total extent of a situation. He must learn how to remain calm, not give in to the first impulse, and remember to weigh options before making a final judgement. He must realize he is not alone, in spite of his independent nature, and needs others' help and love in order to fully express his creative potential.

In our world today, nothing represents the energy of the Warrior more than the rebellious nature of youth. Like it or not, the Warrior is a universal archetype that is part of human consciousness. King Arthur created the Round Table for his young warriors who needed warrior challenges in time of peace, and advocated "Might for Right", a model we might re-explore to channel our young warriors into activities that teach the right use of power. Athletics and physical activities of all kinds, and advocacy of just causes are positive examples. Since warriorship was dishonored during the Viet Nam War, the draft was abolished and the military maligned, an all too obvious shadow form of the Warrior archetype has arisen in America, the impulsive and deadly "foolish" use of violence and weapons by our young Warriors and their need to create shadow Warrior Societies (gangs) to feel powerful. They dress in distinctive "uniforms" pierce and tattoo their bodies as did many ancient warrior societies and are fascinated with weapons, blood, horror and death. All this reflects the shadow side of the Warrior archetype that results from society's attempt to repress all warrior energy.

In the physical body, the Warrior rules the head, face, adrenal glands, muscle structure and general strength of the body. The wearing of helmets, special hairdos and headdresses both emphasizes and protects the source of strength and power, the head/mind, in the patriarchal world of the Warrior. As a result, Warriors of diverse cultures beheaded, scalped or cut off the hair of their enemies to capture their power. Modern day Warriors like to wear hats of all kinds and are concerned with their hair, its style, cut and color. Their hair reflects their power and personality. If a Warrior is having a bad hair day, watch out! Warriors need to be strong and physically fit, thus most of the serious regulars at the health club, on the ski hill, hiking and biking in the summer, etc., will be Warrior archetypes. If the Warrior force within you is disempowered and unable to express itself, you may be prone to headaches and head injury, ear infections, sinus, poor eyesight and diseases of the eye, high fevers and high blood pressure, tooth decay and gum disease, muscular dystrophy and other muscle disorders. Adrenal disease and dysfunction are also Warrior related as adrenaline is the "fight or flight" hormone. If your sun or rising sign is Aries, you may embody the appearance of the archetype: strong and athletic with tall, imposing lean and sturdy body. The head is emphasized with prominent nose, dark piercing electric eyes, noticeably large or small. Warriors have high foreheads, prominent brows and eyebrows, thick hair with a reddish tone and often a widow's peak.

The Warrior requires an occupation which involves him totally and allows him the freedom to constantly express himself. It is very difficult for him to take orders from anyone else and he'll always try to maneuver himself into a position of leadership. He is often the idea person, the entrepreneur who initiates projects without having to attend to all the details necessary for the manifestation of his inspirations. He thrives on competition and will not be held up by delay and setbacks. In the modern world, he is the daredevil, athlete, or advocate championing a cause. As the ancient Warrior valued his weapons, horses, and chariots, the modern Warrior is often drawn to the military, hunting, martial arts, football and the rodeo, to a fascination with guns and other weapons, motorcycles, fast cars and pickup trucks (modern day horses & chariots.) The highest manifestation of the archetype, the Spiritual Warrior (Joan of Arc, Henry V, King Arthur, Robin Hood, the Knights Templars, the Samari and Native American traditions to name a few examples) is empowered to fight for his God, for positive good, to help the less fortunate and better the world for all humankind. As he evolves towards his opposite archetype, Libra the Lover, he gains the balance of power with compassion needed to become the Spiritual Warrior.

If much of the above resonates with you, take this time in the sun to honor your positive Warrior power, potential and possibilities. Try to identify other Warriors around you and begin to relate to them with better understanding. Two Warriors can easily get into battle, but they also have the ability to empower one another like Knights of the Round Table. Look for positive examples of warriorship in the world today. Women warriors…you Amazons out there…often unappreciated or even maligned in your Warrior role until recently, you may need to release the repressed anger and frustration wounded or dishonoured Warriors feel and discover the positive potentials of the Warrior within…now is the time.
