He is often depicted with a sword and shield. He is also
He is the God of war. He has a very one track mind where his dominion is concerned. He is a passionate God but all his passion is spent on the battlefield and bed. He is ferocious and egotistical. That said he, earned his reputation on the battlefield. He was feared by people but not worshipped as the other Gods and Goddesses were. He was certainly called upon in times of war but in times of peace his name was whispered for fear of setting him off.
His persona in the myths has transferred to his persona in popular culture. Is often depicted as arrogant and violence barely contained. The only non-God I have known to defeat him in battle is Xena. But that’s TV.
