"Isn't it time to intervene, Zeus? How can you stomach bearing witness to such atrocity whilst doing nothing?"

Ares

Ares was the god of war, the son of Zeus, and the brother of Athena.

Unlike the other gods, Ares is particularly impulsive and sanguine and knowing the human soul, he decided to actively help Theseus and his friends in an ambush right away. However, his intervention will lead him to death at the hands of Zeus himself. Hit by a whip of fire, he was incinerated and his imprint will remain clearly visible on a slab brought immediately on the Olympus. But his sacrifice will allow Theseus to fulfill his mission.

History[]

He is seen watching the war between mortals unfold from Mount Olympus alongside his sister and like her, wants to intervene in order to protect their own kind. He is forbidden to get involved with the affairs of man by Zeus, who threatens their immortal lives should they defy him.

However, he is convinced by Athena to join her in protecting Theseus when he is ambushed by King Hyperion's men. Together, they descend from Mount Olympus to defeat Hyperion's guards and kill them. Zeus arrives shortly after and is angry by the defiance of his children.

Athena drops to his knees and pleads with him for forgiveness but Ares does not, instead he tries to explain himself to Zeus but in a fit of rage, Zeus forms whip made of fire and strikes Ares, knocking him through a mountain and killing him instantly.

Ares is laid to rest in Mount Olympus, where Poseidon, Athena and Zeus are seen in mourning.
