Sparta's Patron God

     The patron god of Sparta, Ares, played a huge role in Ancient Spartan society. Ares was the God of war, and Sparta is most known for their warriors. Ares is the son of Zeus and Hera. His constant companion is Eris, the spirit of strife. Together they bring bloodshed and hard ship to the human race. Ares would love to jump into war in his chariot, brandishing a sword, very bloodthirsty. Though once wounded, he would run back to Olympus. Once better, he would go back to his boastful self. Zeus called Ares the worst of his children, but to Sparta, he was inspiration.
