Mars: God of War (~by jdmwu)



Mars: God of War (by jdmwu)
Mars was the Roman god of war, the son of Juno and a magical flower (or Jupiter). Since the word is not Indo-European origin, it is most likely romanized version of the Etruscan god Maris (Maris).

Mars - Roman god of war, and one of the most prominent and gods that have ever worshiped. In early Roman history he was the god of spring, growth in nature, and fertility, and protector of cattle. Mars is also mentioned as an underground god (earth god) and this could explain why he became the god of death, and finally, the god of war. He - the son of Jupiter and Juno.
