Homer describes Ares as angry, hateful, strong, tireless, and a might spearsman.

"Ares, manslaughtering (brotoloigos), blood-stained (miaiphonos), stormer of strong walls (teikhesipletes)."

β€˜To me you are the most hateful of all the gods who hold Olympos. Forever quarrelling is dear to your heart, wars and battles.’"

"Ares, exceeding in strength, chariot-rider, golden-helmed, doughty in heart, shield-bearer, Saviour of cities, harnessed in bronze, strong of arm, unwearying, mighty with the spear."
