Roman God: Mars Greek Name: Ares   Mars was the son of Jupiter and Juno.    Mars was tall and handsome, and  mean and self-centered. His sidekick, Discordia, the spirit of disagreement, traveled everywhere with him. They carried four lesser spirits along as well - the spirits of Pain, Panic, Famine, and Oblivion.  In Roman mythology, Mars did not care who won or lost a battle. He just liked to see bloodshed.  Most of the other gods stayed as far away from Mars as possible. He only caused trouble.  Ares (Mars), the unpopular god of war  Ancient Roman Gods & Goddesses Roman Games  Roman Myths  Roman Video Clips  Roman Powerpoints  Ancient Greece for Kids   All Rights Reserved    Clip Art Credit: Phillip Martin Have a great year!
