Join host Edmund Cross as he explores the complex mythology of Ares, the most despised god in the Greek pantheon. This episode examines why the ancient Greeks portrayed their war deity as brutal, cowardly, and chaotic, contrasting sharply with other cultures' reverence for their military gods. Discover the famous myths including Ares' humiliating affair with Aphrodite, his contentious relationship with his divine parents Zeus and Hera, and his repeated defeats in battle. Learn how Ares differed from Athena's strategic warfare wisdom and why the Romans transformed him into the respected god Mars. Cross analyzes archaeological evidence of Ares worship among Thracian cultures and Greek military colonies, while exploring what the god's unpopularity reveals about Greek values regarding honor, strategy, and the dual nature of warfare. The episode delves into artistic depictions of Ares throughout history and his lasting influence on Western culture's understanding of war's destructive potential. Perfect for mythology enthusiasts, students of ancient Greek culture, and anyone interested in how civilizations conceptualized the complex relationship between violence, honor, and society through their religious narratives and divine pantheons.
