When Ares later discovers that Aphrodite slept with Zeus as a way for Eros not to be punished, Ares is furious and starts a fight with Zeus. Hera, likewise, is thrilled when Ares returns home, cutting his hair while Hebe is signing his new arm cast.
When Ares arrives back on Olympus, he witnesses one of Zeus and Hera's fights, and protects Hera from Zeus' wrath, showing great anger at Zeus' mistreatment of her. When Hera first mentions marriage to Persephone, she states that she has two very available sons, showing that she would gladly set up Persephone with Ares despite his relationship and family with Aphrodite. Despite how close they are, Hera has shown a strong dislike for Aphrodite, Ares's longtime girlfriend with whom he had a son, Eros, whom Hera also has a poor relationship with.
It seem that they have a close relationship. He even claims that he would enjoy having a wife that would cause Zeus "endless paranoia." When he found out Zeus had slept with his girlfriend Aphrodite and threatened to punish his son Eros, he was completely consumed by his wrath to the point where he accidentally hit his mother.Īres appears to enjoy antagonizing his father, as he confronts him over his theory that Persephone is a fertility goddess in a taunting manner. He seems to resent his father for forcing him to go to the Mortal Realm, which Ares refers to as a "hell hole." Ares also claims that he is pretty sure the reason for this is because Zeus is "ashamed of him." Despite Zeus being the King of Gods, Ares is the only person willing and capable of standing up to his father, calling him out on his hypocritical behavior, to the point where even Zeus fears his son's wrath. Ares has an estranged relationship with him. When he accidentally struck his mother while defending her he was profusely apologetic and immediately calmed his rage, proving he can be empathetic. Despite his flaws, Ares does appear to recognize his negative traits and attempts to better himself, as shown when he apologizes to Persephone for his aggressiveness. His failed relationship with Aphrodite shows that he can be insensitive towards other's feelings in preference to his own. He can be selfish and inconsiderate of people and even aggressive when he wants things to go his way. He asks Persephone if she needs him to kill someone for her, and stands between Zeus and Hera when they fight, suggesting a protective nature.Īres also displays a calculative intelligence when he is able to deduce that Persephone is a Fertility Goddess and that Zeus fears someone will use her to overthrow him. He allows Hebe to draw hearts on the pink cast he gets upon returning to Olympus. He is gentle with Aphrodite after she confesses to him, hugging her to his chest. Aphrodite eventually breaks up with him due to him "leading her on," leaving her for months with no contact, and telling her how hot he finds Persephone.Īres does have a soft side. He even goes as far as deceiving Persephone to get closer to her so that they can kiss, although this does not end up working well for him. He unashamedly flirts with Persephone despite being in a relationship with Aphrodite. Like his father, Ares is somewhat promiscuous. He enjoys antagonizing Persephone, as her resulting anger appears to thrill him.
When he found out that his father had slept with his girlfriend, and that this was because his father was otherwise going to punish their son, Ares quickly flew into a rage. In his early appearances, he wears a pink cast on his right arm signed by his younger sister Hebe.Īres can be antagonizing, snarky, and quick to anger. He is usually seen wearing a white nose bandage. In later episodes, he wears wife-beater and gray sweatpants. On Olympus, Ares wears a navy-blue military uniform and a matching peaked cap. In a flashback, this outfit becomes black. While in the Mortal Realm, Ares wears dark brown Greek armor with a balteus and a long cape, a Spartan helmet with a white feather plume, and open-toed shoes with leg greaves. His body is crisscrossed with large white scars.
