Homer describes Ares as angry, hateful, strong, tireless, and a might spearsman.

"Ares, manslaughtering (brotoloigos), blood-stained (miaiphonos), stormer of strong walls (teikhesipletes)."

‘To me you are the most hateful of all the gods who hold Olympos. Forever quarrelling is dear to your heart, wars and battles.’"

"Ares, exceeding in strength, chariot-rider, golden-helmed, doughty in heart, shield-bearer, Saviour of cities, harnessed in bronze, strong of arm, unwearying, mighty with the spear."
