spirit2dm3 -- Where Ares reigns
A deathmatch map for Quake II  by spirit



  "And [depicted] on the shield [of Herakles] stood the fleet-footed horses of grim Ares made gold,

   and deadly Ares the spoil-winner himself. He held a spear in his hands and was urging on the footmen:

   he was red with blood as if he were slaying living men, and he stood in his chariot.

   Beside him stood Deimos (Fear) and Phobos (Flight), eager to plunge amidst the fighting men."
   

    - Hesiod, Shield of Heracles 191
    


  " Most hateful to me are you of all gods on Olympus,

      for ever is strife dear to you and wars and fightings. "


    - Zeus to Ares. Homer, Iliad 5.890
