Appearances and Mentions
1.01 - Treasure of Zeus
Ares spends a lot of time in his temple. We're not sure what he does with all his time, but in his own words, "Even I have to work hard". Apparently this involves practicing swordplay with a floating set of armor. He is also easily angered and obviously carries a large amount of resentment towards Hercules. He listens to Strife's griping, and subtly influences Strife into trying to kill Hercules. Later, he appears to Strife as an image in a bowl of water, checking in to see how Strife is pulling off his con.
1.18 - A Serpent's Tooth
- After planting the basilisk in the throne room, Discord gloats to Strife, "Chin up, Strife. Just think how impressed Ares will be when we've destroyed Corinth."
- The evil plan is not going so well. Strife retorts sarcastically, "Uncle Ares is gonna be sooooo impressed. He's just gonna go all warm and fuzzy inside."
- The evil plan eventually falls through, and Strife retreats, "Let's not tell, uh, Uncle Ares about this, huh? Whaddya say?"
1.19 - The Lure of the Lyre
- When Hercules asks about Bacchus, Iolaus mistakenly assumes he's taking about "Bacchus... Oh, yeah. He's a cyclops. Works for Ares."
1.24 - Dad Always Liked Me Best
- Lucius tells made-up stories about hanging out with Zeus, including a time seeing Zeus toss Ares off of Mount Olympus and hearing Zeus says to Ares, "You may be the God of War, but you're still going bald."
