Ares, the god of war, was young, handsome and strong. He loved to fight and wear battle gear. However, he was a coward under his boisterous exterior. Ares was in love with Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, but she was already married to Hephaestus. Hephaestus, the god of metalworking, worked as a blacksmith on Mount Olympus. He forged tools and jewelry for the gods and goddesses. He was considered the ugliest of the gods and was rejected by his mother, Hera. Hermes was the messenger god and also the god of mischief, science and invention. His symbols are a winged helmet and sandals to illustrate his speed. Dionysus was the god of revelry and showed people how to have a good time.

A
