    I once read a fanstory about ares, a retelling about when the giants kidnapped him and confined him in a jar. He was essentially forgotten about until artemis and hermes found him, and it really messed him up that none of his family even remembered he was gone. He eventually overcame his trauma with the help of artemis and hermes, and he became a protector of the prisoner/hostages of war, punishing those who treated their pows unfairly or cruelly.

      Funfact, that's actually not a 'fan theory' or story- it's a slightly altered real myth about a time Ares was locked away in a jar...
      Basically, Aphrodite was married to Haephaestos as a cruel joke by Zeus, giving his ugliest (literally described as looking like a monster) son, God of the blacksmiths- Aphrodite as his wife-
      Aphrodite HATED this, so of course, cheated on him constantly- with whom you may ask? Well, Ares of Course, the chad of the family-
      When Haephastos heard of his wh--re of a wife sleeping around- he devised a trap and a plan- he created an urn, so incredibly powerfully strong that no being nor god could EVER escape it- Then lured Ares into it by putting something in t he pot ares wanted and telling him about it- when Ares reached in to grab this item- he had to put his whole upper torso in to reach the bottom- as it was a very large pot, built to his exact specifications-
      Then Haephaestos pushed ares all the way into the jar and sealed it- keeping him as a prisoner for years in a pot he couldn't ever move around in- horrible really.

    Ares might be the only Greek god who didn't assault women. He actually killed a son of Poseidon for assaulting one of his daughters.
    Ares was the father of the Amazons and involved in the lives of his mortal children. He was also good at parties, being able to be peaceful outside of war.
    Athena was actually a raging misogynist, as detailed in the Oresteia, she said she'd always take the side against women.

      But even that word would be incorrect to discribe her, considering that she would target women as well.

      I wanted to call attention to Athena's misogynist traits because it is important to her character and ignored by modern people, making her an idol of feminism, which is very untrue given how ancient Greeks saw her. Ares was actually a better idol for women's rights in such a misogynist culture. To them, women were seen as so low, Athena had to transcend being a woman to be revered as a god. My sister studies these classics for her teaching jobs and keeps talking to me about how misogynistic the Greeks were.
      Misanthrope would be a better all-around term for her, given her hatred and disrespect for all others, men and women included (a term brought to my vocabulary to describe Cersei Lannister).
      Athena once led a revolt against Zeus to take Olympus, but he only punished the other gods, letting Athena off scot-free, because she's daddy's little goddess.
      She got away with a lot, whilst Ares was constantly abused.

      Ares wasn't hateful, he was wrathful. He had a rage in him to fight against injustices. To fight against that which wanted to rip away life. To ensure that, in his name, no mortal would lose the gift of Prometheus' hand without every possible chance to seize victory he could afford them.

      one tale that i love about Ares, is how Ares was the first person ever by judged by a court of law, the whole justice system and judgment was created because of him because he murder one of Poseidon's sons after that son raped Ares's daughter, Ares revenged his daughter and accept judgment from the other gods for his actions, but he was considered innocent, since was just a father taking action to revenge his daughter,

    I dunno what happened next but I'm aware the Greeks explain (or at least there is a story that explains) that the reason the Greed gods don't interact with mortals anymore is because of Ares.

I’ve been so angry for so long and if there’s any god out there for me, I hope it’s Ares, bc he wouldn’t deny me my fury or make me feel guilty or ashamed of it.

  • @animenerd4173

    I love this because the myth where the Greek gods end is so beautiful. It’s essentially ares. He goes to war against Olympus and wins, forcing Zeus to quit allowing them all to no longer meddle in mortal affairs but to simply watch, the war was bloody but no gods died. What it did do was show that ares was without a doubt the god prophesied to become overthrow Zeus, the myth ends via that the gods close the gates of Olympus, which is a very anti-climatic thing, yet poetic that the god of war, is more human then all the others. Seeing that the humans should be able to live the way they want without a god screwing things up

  • @mr.aloevera9070

    I have a confession. I'm currently working on a story centering around Ares and Medusa. Just as any other greek myth fan I believed Medusa deserved better. I mean she went through hell, being betrayed by the one god who she devoted her existence to, just to be transformed into a monster. I know that someone might say "She did it so that no man could ever hurt her again" BUT in the end it also isolates Medusa from everyone she loved. Like Athena had no empathy (not to mention she was later killed by Perseus). I wanted to give Medusa someone who could understand her pain and wrath and then BOOM! Who else would be better than the god hated by his own family/kind? Who sees the dark side of humanity but ultimately understands it. Story is set in kind of modern setting (not like Lore olympus, I hate it) and it's about Ares teaming up with Medusa to solve a crime case and ultimately just getting to know eachother. So kind of a mystery/ detective romance. I really hope this idea will stick with long enough for me to finaly draw it as a comic

      As a companion to that, negative stories about Athena could well be from Sparta or other Grecian city-states, and considering that both Sparta and Athens were places that did a lot of horrible things as a matter of historical record, I can't get too sad about a proxy god getting a bad rap, especially when the lasting philosophical and intellectual legacy of Sparta is in Fascistic military worship, Sparta itself may have been somewhat more nuanced, that is nooooot what their successors would take from them.

    Remember we get most of our stories from the Athenians, Ares is the victim of a smear job.

The tribute of conquest was too high bar to continue his veneration. Remember his virtues, take heed his missteps, but always blaze your own path.
