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.
