==Renaissance and later depictions== | |||
In [[Renaissance]] and [[Neoclassicism|Neoclassical]] works of art, Ares's symbols are a spear and helmet, his animal is a dog, and his bird is the [[vulture]]. In literary works<!--examples would be more enlightening than this generality--> of these eras, Ares is replaced by the Roman [[Mars (mythology)|Mars]], a romantic emblem of manly valor rather than the cruel and blood-thirsty god of Greek mythology. | |||
