Posted byTriumvir ClioPosted inGreek Myth, The Greeks

Today we have one weird little poem about Ares… or is it Mars?

Discussion Prompts
  1. What is your favorite epithet for Ares? Why?
  2. Ares or Mars? Why?
  3. Where did Athena go?
  4. What do you think about the poet’s final prayer?

I have a BA in History and Classical Civilization from Loyola University Chicago and an MPH from Western Michigan University. I've been a geometry teacher, a religion teacher, a writing tutor. I'm a writer, a knitter, a dancer, a singer, an actor. And, yes, for fun I like to reread everything that was assigned while getting my classics degree.
