Myths

This Thursday and Friday I read about: Ares, Phateon, Athena, I found these myths to be all quite different. Ares and Athena, yet I find quite alike. They were both very fond of war, being brave and incandescent in their strength. Yet it is mentioned that Ares was not a wise warrior. He liked to fight for no particular reason, and so, got himself into quite some trouble. He and Athena met quite sometimes during battle, but The Troyan war was the most important of their encounters. Here Ares was defeated and thus forced to return to Mount Olympus. I found the tale of Phateon to be tragic in pathetic way. He wanted to proof himself of something he was not capable of, and that explains why we so many times overestimate ourselves and end caught up within the thick haze, just like he left the rest of the world to be.
