The Story of the Ares Collection

The Power and the Glory

If Athena is the calculating tactician, then Ares is the wild berserker, boiling with battle lust and unfettered rage. His immense, primitive power makes him a formidable foe, but it is also his greatest weakness.

The reds and oranges of war are his primary colours. The manslayer is known for his quick temper and deep anger.

Cold silver of sword and shining armour is strewn across this piece like the aftermath of a battle. Opposing this is the haunting blue of deep, cold waters, his weakness revealed on the blue bay of Troy, where Diomedes grievously wounded him.

Rich and varied colours match the many turbulent aspects of Ares. If you look at this vividly representative piece of art, it provides insight into why Aphrodite fell in love with him.
