MARS

Mars, nicknamed sometimes as the Red Planet, is the fourth planet of the Solar System. It is, in many aspects, the most similar to the Earth. It possesses two small satellites and the distance of the planet to the Sun differs in approximately 42,4 million kilometres.

The legend of Mars

In the Greek mythology, Plough is considered to be the Olympian god of the war, though it is rather the personification of the brute force and the violence, as well as of the riot, the confusion and the horrors of the battles, in contraposition to his step-sister Atenea, who represents the meditation and wisdom in the matters of the war and protects the men.

The majority of the myths in which it intervenes Plough they are stories of combats, but not always the god works out winning. It seems as if the Greeks, from the epoch of Homero, have taken pleasure in showing the brute force of Plough contained or deceived by The Heracles's most intelligent or by the virile prudence of Atenea. For example, in the battle of Troy.

Apart from the histories of combat, the legend attributes to Plough many loving adventures. The most famous, undoubtedly, is the one that us presents it joined clandestinly with Aphrodite, though it had many children with mortal women. The majority of they they were violent, inhospitable men, who were attacking the wayfarers, they were killing them or were submitting to acts of cruelty.
