He is like too many people who don't seem to realize the true reflection the written tattoo may convey to someone who speaks that as a native language.

Also, wasn't Ares' counterpart Mars the father of Romulus and Remus? Therefore, we should thank Ares for being able to learn Latin in this day and age. And, by extension, shouldn't you be thanking him for (a portion of) your job? :) Yeah, but Ares was pretty cool in “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys”, which stars Kevin Sorbo, a Minnesota native.

In the grand scheme of things, she's far more important and way cooler than Ares. Ares may have been the god of war, but Athena was the goddes of wisdom, weaving, *and* war. Not only that, she was the patron goddess of important Greek heroes like Odysseus and the city of Athens was specifically named after her. The Greeks didn't really like Ares very much, so he has relatively few stories. Consider yourself lucky! Athena’s awesome.
