Epithets and Surnames
The names of gods and goddesses are often accompanied by a finite number of traditional epithets that describe the personality or associations of the divinity. Below is a list of epithets and their Greek equivalents associated with Ares. Students should do their own investigation for the epithets of Ares and then check their findings against this chart. Additions should be made to the chart as necessary. Students can then form a better understanding of how the Greeks and other cultures viewed the nature of their gods and goddesses from the list of epithets they create and to which they add.
