𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐬: Since he was the savage god of senseless war, Ares was almost universally detested. At one point, after Ares is wounded in battle by Diomedes, even Zeus calls him "the most hateful of all the gods," remarking that if he hadn't been his son, he would have surely ended up in Tartarus with Cronus and the Titans.
The episode with Diomedes is only one of many in which Ares comes off second-best in his martial encounters. During the Trojan War, Athena needs no more than one stone to floor him, after which she spends some time mocking him and bragging of her superiority as a warrior.
Heracles defeats Ares not once, but twice - first during the battle of Pylos, and then after killing his son Cycnus. Most humiliatingly, Otus and Ephialtes, the Aloadae, once manage to kidnap Ares and imprison him in a bronze jar for thirteen months. Homer says that if their stepmother Eriboea hadn't told Hermes about it, this would have spelled the end of Ares
