History

One of the three children of the supreme Greek Gods, Zeus and Hera, Ares is the God of War, loving battle for its own sake. Ares never favors one city or party over another, fighting on either side, as inclination prompts him, delighting in the slaughter of men and the sacking of towns.

Ares is hated by all his fellow immortals, from Zeus and Hera downward, except for Eris, and Aphrodite, who nurses a perverse passion for him, ultimately bearing his children, Deimos, Phobos, and Harmonia.

Ares opposed the plan of his half-sister Artemis to create a new race of mortals on Earth , a race that would make me worship the gods as never before. Ares was outvoted by the other gods and, through the efforts of Artemis and the other goddesses, the new race was created from the swirling souls of women whose lives had been cut short by man's fear and ignorance. This new race was called the Amazons. From that moment on, Ares became the Amazons' sworn enemy.

When the Amazon oracle Menalippe sensed a tremendous surge in Ares' poser and influence that threatened to consume the very Earth itself, the Amazons were commanded by the gods to choose a champion to confront Ares in the World of Man. The winner of the tournament was the Princess Diana, daughter of the Amazon Queen Hippolyta.

After confronting Decay, an agent of Ares' son Phobos, the Phobos and Deimos themselves, Princess Diana finally confront the God of War himself, and after battle , defeated him.
