the son of Zeus and Hera god of war battles, and bloodshed were his major
preoccupations. He engaged in an ongoing dating with
Aphrodite in defiance of that fact that the lovely goddess was already married (to the god Hephaestus).
Hephaestus was understandably angry..
Hephaestus planned to catch the couple “in the act” and he made it.

Later he fell in love with Ilia (vestal virgin) and she bore him the twins (Romulus and Remus)
