Some sample questions from this category:

* Ares hailed from this city, home of a fierce people.
* This carrion bird was Ares' favorite. Rather appropriate in my opinion.
* In battle, Ares wore a shining helmet and was accompanied by his sister, Eris, which means "discord." Name her son, who also accompanied them.
* Though Ares was hated in Greece, he certainly had some impressive companions. He was also accompanied by the goddes of war, whose name in Latin is "Bellona." By what name did the Greeks know her?
* Yet another of Ares' companions was his son, whose name means "fear." Name him.
* Ares also had a daughter by an Amazonian queen. Name this mother of Hippolytus.
* The Romans liked Mars so much that they made him the father of the mythical founders of their homeland. Name these twin brothers raised by wolves and shepherds.
* Ares was certainly an unsettling fellow; his throne was covered in human skin. The Greeks no doubt thought it justified when they had him lose in combat to a mere mortal, powerful though he was. Name the heroic son of Zeus who defeated him.
