Mythology behind Mars
Mars; the Roman God of War, and Ares; the Greek God of War. Is it any wonder why Mars is the ruler of Aries? In Greek mythology, Ares was representative of violence, bloodshed and obviously… war. In Roman mythology, Mars was representative of these similar things as well but not as aggressive as Ares. Mars was representative of structured military power and a strong warrior who still liked seeing bloodshed. Ares was savage, dangerous and an overwhelming force. He was destructive and untamed, impulsive you could say.
