The Parthenon frieze contains a group of Olympians, among whom Ares, in unwarlike garb, has been tentatively identified. On vases, Ares is usually the typical armed warrior. He was the sire of at least three of Heracles’ adversaries: Cycnus, Lycaon, and Diomedes of Thrace. By Aglauros, the daughter of Cecrops, he was the father of Alcippe. Occasionally, Aphrodite was Ares’ legitimate wife, and by her he fathered Deimos, Phobos (who accompanied him into battle), Harmonia, and-as first told by Simonides in the 6th century bce- Eros, god of love. He was associated with Aphrodite from earliest times in fact, Aphrodite was known locally (e.g., at Sparta) as a war goddess, apparently an early facet of her character. The mythology surrounding the figure of Ares is not extensive. The smell associated with rainfall is called petrichor the moisture causes bacteria in dry earth to release a molecule that human noses are very sensitive to.
