Answers
Answer:
Ares-
Ares is the Greek god of war, son of Zeus and Hera. He represents the physical or violent aspect of war and is the personification of sheer brutality. Although he represented the physical strength necessary for success in war, he was considered as a dangerous force, as he was uncountable, destructive and man-slaughtering. His sons were Phobos meaning fear and Deimos meaning terror. Both of them accompanied him during wars. His father Zeus once told him that, he is the god most hateful to him. Despite all the power and strength he represented as a god of war, he typically faces humiliation
Poseidon
Roman name: Neptune. The god of the sea, Poseidon is Zeus’s brother and second only to him in power. Poseidon holds a decade-long grudge against Odysseus. The often cruel and unpredictable violence of the seas is assumed to be a result of his anger.
Hades
Roman name: Pluto. The brother of Zeus and Poseidon, Hades rules the underworld, the realm of the dead, with his wife, Persephone.
Pallas Athena
Roman name: Minerva. Usually just called Athena, this goddess emerges from Zeus’s head fully-grown and armed. Associated with war, cleverness, and wit, it is no surprise that she favors Odysseus. Athena is the goddess of Wisdom, Reason, and Purity and is chaste, like Artemis and Hestia.
