Ares was the first Greek god to be tried on the hill of Areopagus, the highest council of Ancient Greece. Ares was accused by the Greek god Poseidon for having murdered his son Alirrothios, because Allirrothios attempted to rape Ares' daughter, Alkippe.
The month March was named in honour of Ares (Mars), and war dances were held during that period.
Ares was the Olympian god of war and defense and the figure behind all kind of violence
