The God(s) of War

Ares is the God of War. He’s strong, manly, and very often depicted nude. (Here is a good site for finding out more about our favourite deity.)

Nothing too PG here, don’t worry.

Yeah bby, too cool for school. Anyway, here are some other gods of war:

Odin, the chief god in Norse Paganism. Though the roles of gods in Norse mythology are complex, and he isn’t so much the God of War as he is also associated with wisdom, war, battle and death and also magic, poetry, prophecy, victory and the hunt… oh well! Interestingly enough, the horse was closely linked to him as a symbol of his power.


His wife cheated on him though. Wonder why.


Our next God of War is this dude called Murugan. Well, actually, you can call him Senthil, Saravaa, Kārttikeya, Arumugam, Shanmukha, Kumāra, Guha, Skanda, Subrahmaya, Vēla or Swaminatha.

He’s a Hindu deity!


What's my point? Uh... Ares is the BEST God of War ever. Yeah. Meanwhile, let me direct you to this game, which, while slightly tedious, is also deceptively addictive. Never mind the fact that it has nothing to do with the rest of the post. Warning: don't click if you have something else you should be doing. Have a nice day, Ares!
