Ares (god of war)

(god of war)

Roman name: Mars
Parents Zeus and Hera
Siblings: Hephaestus, Hebe, Eileithyia

Ares was the god of war. He was known for his thirst for battle and blood. Athena was a goddess of war, but preferred peace if possible. She would support war when it was over issues of justice. Ares, on the other hand, was not concerned with justice. He loved the thrill of battle. Ares lived among the people of Thrace, who were known for their constant wars and battles between tribes.
Ares was seen often accompanied by four other deities. The four deities were Diemos, the personification of fear; Enyo, goddess of battle; Eris, the personification of discord; and Phobos, the personification of terror. Ares, along with his companions, escalated the ferocity of battle.
Even though he was strong and
The depressing revelations that Sony Santa Monica's God of War 3 could have been even more epic and awesome keep coming. In a recent interview with website Destructoid, the game's director, Stig Asmussen, discussed elements of the hit PlayStation 3 game that had to be cut.
Asmussen describes, in particular, the Alpha stage of the game as "too big" resulting in a series of cuts so they could polish the rest of the game. Two things that were removed were the boss Argus, a beast with 100 eyes, and a massive cyclops, one almost twice as big as any other cyclops. Each boss had their in-game reveal and specific gameplay worked out but they were not finished.  Other elements that had to be removed from the game include "a big Titan scene at the end" where the player confronts Zeus on Gaia, who becomes involved in the battle as well.
Sadly these elements were just too big for the game, which remains quite a substantial experience even though it has been edited. Asmussen states that their inclusion would have meant other parts of the game, like the remaining Titan scenes, would have suffered as a result and sacrifices had to be made.
So where does that leave the edited content? While Asmussen remained tight-lipped on both downloadable content in the interview as well as the series' future, he does claim that the game is almost "zipped up too tight" and that adding in any new AI, like Argus or the cyclops, or an extended epilogue may break the whole game. Despite these comments, fans will still be hoping that some of these elements will be made available as downloadable content in the future since purely releasing new challenges and character skins will probably not be enough to appease the God of War fans out there.

a great warrior, Ares lacked cunning, strategy, and moral decency. In several battles, Areas was forced off the battlefields by humans who wanted to make peace. He was not well liked either by humans or by the gods. Even his mother and father disliked him.
