Affairs: No spouse, and his main love is war, but he didn't have too many lonely nights. Repeatedly deceived the smith god Hephaestus by making love with his beautiful wife Aphrodite. The sun god Helios saw them and revealed the affair to the rest of the Olympians, the males of whom dropped down to watch, embarassing Aphrodite and Ares. Supposedly Ares was actually in love with Aphrodite, beyond mere lust. If opposites attract, the God of War and the Goddess of Love would seem to be a sensible match.
Children: Diomedes, by the nymph Cyrene; Cycnus by Pyrene; Oenomaus by Sterope, one of the seven sisters comprising the Pleiades constellation. The popular game "God of War" cites demigod or divine spirit Kratos as a son and then successor of Ares, but this is not the traditional myth of either Ares or Kratos.
Major Temple Sites: Ares enjoyed his strongest worship in the Northern Greece territory of Thracia or Thrace. As few people wanted to invoke war, temple sites are rare
Ares is enjoying quite a new "career" lately as books and movies on Greek mythology are featuring him. You can see Ares in "Clash of the Titans" and "Immortals", among others. More Movies Based on Greek Mythology
