ARES and ATHENA.
In the Trojan War, Athena (Minerva) supported the Greeks while ares (Mars) defended the Trojans. Although both deities bore the epithet 'warlike', Athena was also recognized as a champion of civic virtues and above all wisdom. Ares, on the other hand, was primarily a war god who was characterized by violence and strife. Their rivalry in the Iliad was the fountainhead of later allegorical representations in which the two Olympians embody the conflict between rationality and mindless violence — between peace and war. In other metaphorical treatments they are found together in harmony, representing the twin virtues of warlike valor and civic wisdom, especially in paeans to cities, nations, or patrons.
