Responsibilities
Ares realm was God of War and Bloodlust. Zeus was the father of Ares who assigned him to this realm. Ares was not a smart warrior, he didn't care who was fighting he just wanted to fight. In result he lost many fights unlike Athena god of Wisdom and Warfare who won many wars because of her wisdom. During a great war Ares was fighting against the Greeks. Athena saw this and then decided to help the Greeks so they wouldn't be defeated. When Ares saw Athena in her armor he rushed towards her, and threw his spear against her chest. Athena caught the spear point on her shield, and turned it aside. Then she grabbed a giant rock and hurled it at Ares, her aim was so great that it struck him squarely, and knocked him flat upon his back. He was such an enormous fellow that it was said his body covered seven acres, he was so injured he gave up the fight.
