Alexiares is a son of Heracles. His name means “He who wards off war” and can be petitioned to do such a task as well as protect one from unnecessary conflict. He is pictured as a muscular but strong willed god who has gentleness about him.
Anicetus is the brother of Alexiares. His name means “the unconquerable one.” He is a very good deity to ask for protection and strength. He is much like his brother but does not have the air of gentleness around him.
Ares is the supreme god of war. He is the son of Hera and Zeus. He is one of the most bloodthirsty gods on Olympus. He never backs down from a challenge, and can be petitioned for victory in contests, courage, and strength. Keep an offering ready however, Ares loves gifts and almost needs them to perform tasks. He is pictured either in full armor or nude with only a spear.
Eris is the twin sister to Ares and is the goddess of chaos and havoc. Her thirst for blood is even more insatiable than her brother’s. She often remains on the deserted battle-fields marveling in the havoc that commenced. Eris also indirectly started the Trojan war by throwing a golden apple among the goddesses which read “to the fairest.” Three different goddesses fought over the apple and caused the events that lead to the Trojan war.
Deimus is a son of Ares and Aphrodite. He is the god of dread and terror. He is depicted riding in his fathers chariot, which shows his place on the battle-field was important.
Enyo is a goddess of war and a companion of Ares. She is the mother of Enyalios, and can be petitioned for courage with a more feminine air than with Ares.
Enyalios is a war god, and is also a son of Ares. He is almost exactly like ares but a little less blood-thirsty.
Athena is the goddess of war and wisdom. She was born fully grown out of Zeus’ head after he devoured her mother Metis. Athena is also the patron of craftsmen and of cities. She is pictured in armor with a crescent plume on her head.
Atlas is the titan god of daring and courage. He lead the Titans in the war against Zeus and after the battle he was sentenced to holding up the sky as punishment. He is pictured naked and very muscular fropm holding the heavens up and can be asked for endurance and strength.
Pallas is the titan of warcraft. He fathered Nike, Bia, Zelos, and Kratus. He can be petitioned for wisdom on the battle-field as well as strategy.
Bia is the titaness of force. She sided with Zeus in the great war, therefore she retained her powers. She and her siblings Nike, Kratos and Zelos are the winged attendants of Zeus’ throne.
Kratus is the titan of strength. He is a sibling to Nike, Bia, and Zelos.
Nike is the titan of victory. She is Zeus’ constant companion and is a winged deity.
Zelos is the titan of rivalry and competition. Like his siblings he is winged and an attendant of Zeus.
