Gods and Goddesses of War
A list of war gods and goddesses from the mythology of the world.
While it may seem that a war god is a single purpose deity, war gods are varied in their functions. Some war gods, like Ares, are associated with battle rage; others with victory. Still other war gods or goddesses, most famously Athena, are connected with strategy. Some war gods and goddesses, are multi-purpose gods. Even more counter-intuitively, some war gods, like Mars, are also fertility gods. Below you will find a list of the war gods and goddesses from the mythology of the world.Also see War Goddesses
