Athena vs. Ares – Symbol Sage

Athena and her brother Ares both preside over war. However, they represent two different sides of war and battle. Ares is known for sheer brutality, cruel, unkind, vicious, and violent. He represents the negative and reprehensible aspects of war, making him the least loved of all the gods. In contrast to her brother Ares, Athena represents a more thoughtful and strategic way to resolve conflict, rather than just war for the sake of war. #war #athena #ares #mythology #symbolsage

Thanatos – Symbol Sage

Thanatos is often depicted with poppy, butterfly, sword, inverted torch and wings.
