It's the Day of Ares / Mars' Day / #Tuesday!
Gem depicting #Ares or a warrior carrying his spear and armour.
"All the grove and the altar of Apollon Pagasaios were lighted up by the dread god, Ares, himself and his armour, and the shining from his eyes was like fire."
Hesiod, The Shield of Heracles 70

Red-figure #VasePainting of #Ares and the #Dioskuroi in the #Gigantomachy. The god and demi-gods attack the gigantes whose backs are turned to us, a major innovation of this vase painting.
Dated to ca. 400 BCE.

Happy #ValentinesDay from #Mars and #Venus in the Terme di Diocleziano! 💕
The goddess is embracing her man who is all dressed up for war. But Love is known to subdue War, but he never subdues her.
Dated to ca. 170 CE, #ancientRome.

Red-figure pottery with #Ares motif, as the Pergamon Museum in Berlin puts it. Whose hand is he holding? Is it maybe #Aphrodite being led to bed by Ares, as recounted in the #Odyssey?
"He [Ares] took her hand and spoke thus to her: 'Come, my darling; let us go to bed and take our delight together.'"

In the "House of the Ephebe" in #Pompeii there is an arched lararium niche embellished with white stucco on a blue background. The lararium is the place where offerings and prayers were made to the gods. This one is decorated with a large painting of the love of #Mars and #Venus.

A statue of #Mars depicted in a fresco found in the House of Venus in #Pompeii. The god is surprisingly pale, possibly meant to emphasise it being a statue along with the plinth he is standing on. In #GreekRomanArt, men were usually depicted with tan skin.

Marble bust of #Ares after the Greek original by Alkamenes ca. 420s BCE.
The god is depicted as a beardless youth with an elaborate helmet, the crest of which is resting on the back of a #sphinx.

We start the #NewYear with something cute: #Ares bending down to talk to his son #Eros, depicted on a Roman oil lamp made of white clay.
Eros is a winged young boy holding the shield and spear of his father. Ares is in the nude except for his crested helm.
Or could it be Phobos or Deimos?

Meet this gorgeous #Ares designed by @SanioArt@twitter.com! Note the #dogs, a sacred animal of the war god, and the shields adorned with what I think is an owl, in the decoration of the plate in the background 😊

What kind of gifts would #Ares bring for St Nicholas day?
Bishop Nikolaos, who gave rise to the modern form of #SantaClaus, came from Lykia (in modern Turkey), and was ordained as a priest in Myra where #Artemis Eleutheria was the protective goddess of the town.
