Store Ares god of war statue greek 9.10"/23cm silver coloured handmade alabaster

ARES God of War Statue Material: Alabaster Height: 9.10" (23cm) Weight: 240gr Ares is the Greek God of courage and war. He is one of theTwelve Olympians, and the son of Zeus andHera. InGreek Literature, he often represents the physical or violent and untamed aspect of war and is the personification of sheer brutality and bloodlust, in contrast to his sister, the armored Athena, whose functions as agoddess of inteligence include military srtategy and generalship. The Greeks were ambivalent toward Ares: although he embodied the physical valor necessary for success in war, he was a dangerous force, "overwhelming, insatiable in battle, destructive, and man-slaughtering." His sonsPhobos (Fear) andDeimos (Terror) and his lover, or sister,Enyo (Discord) accompanied him on his warChariot. In the iliad, his father Zeus tells him that he is the god most hateful to him. An association with Ares endows places and objects with a savage, dangerous, or militarized quality. His value as a war god is placed in doubt: during theTrojan War, Ares was on the losing side, while Athena, often depicted in Greek Artas holding Nike(Vistory)in her hand, favoured the triumphant Greeks. Ares plays a relatively limited role in Greek Mythologyas represented in literary narratives, though his numerous love affairs and abundant offspring are often alluedto. When Ares does appear in myths, he typically faces humiliation. He is well known as the lover of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who was married toHephaestus, god of craftsmanship. The most famous story related to Ares and Aphrodite shows them exposed to ridicule through the wronged husband's device. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are satisfied with our products and Servicesplease leave a positive Feedback, it will give us power to continue create unique products!
