Mythology Posters Series request by Anonymous: Ares

Ares is the Greek god of war, one of the twelve olympians and son of Zeus and Hera. In Greek literature, he often represents the physical or violent and untamed aspect of war. 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.”

@femmefatalenet valentine’s exchange— vesna, slavic goddess of spring for @scraphim​

“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.”

“Mother you don’t understand;
 I made Hades run to me.

He saw my bones beneath 

And offered me half his kingdom.

Do you really think I ate the fruit unwillingly?”

— excerpt from “Persephone’s Return”, a.m (x)
