阿瑞斯阿瑞斯,宙斯和赫拉之子,被委任為戰(zhàn)神。他威嚴(yán)而可怕。他一走動(dòng),整個(gè)世界都會(huì)搖晃。在奧林波斯山上的所有主神中,他是最可恨的、最喜歡爭(zhēng)斗和戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的神,并且永遠(yuǎn)對(duì)血腥有一種渴望。另一方面,他代表勇氣和勝利,被即將上戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)的戰(zhàn)士們瘋狂地崇拜。這些崇拜者戰(zhàn)前都要向他祈禱,戰(zhàn)后將戰(zhàn)利品供奉在他的祭壇前。他是惟一一位曾經(jīng)不得不屈于部下威力的神。有一次,由于缺乏機(jī)智與正確判斷使他蒙受羞辱。他和兩個(gè)巨人決斗,發(fā)現(xiàn)自己不能抵擋。他自動(dòng)放下武器,被銬上鐵鏈關(guān)了起來(lái),最后他被老練的赫爾墨斯救出來(lái),但在此之前,他已飽嘗了受侮辱的滋味。他做事不加思考,就像他的殘暴一樣典型。波塞冬的一個(gè)兒子企圖誘拐他的女兒,弄得戰(zhàn)神非常不悅。于是,他毫不留情地把他干掉了。為了替兒子報(bào)仇,波塞冬拉著阿瑞斯到雅典法官面前要求審判戰(zhàn)神。審判是在城外的一座小山上開(kāi)庭的,阿瑞斯敘述了案情,最后被判無(wú)罪。從那以后,這座山就稱(chēng)作雅典的最高法院,即“阿瑞斯之山”;而出審的法官們被稱(chēng)作雅典最高法院的法官。
