The Greek god of war is Ares. In mythology, Ares represents the chaotic and brutal aspects of warfare, often depicted as a powerful, aggressive figure. Unlike Athena, who symbolizes strategic warfare and wisdom, Ares embodies the violence and sheer force of battle. He is often portrayed with armor and weaponry, riding in a chariot or accompanied by his symbols of war, such as a spear and shield. Despite his significance, Ares was not widely worshipped in ancient Greece and was often viewed unfavorably, associated with the bloodshed and destruction of war.
