[edit] Comments

Reverted to the old version, 29 October. 207.103.166.40 changed it to a link that didn't work anyway. -- Stormwriter

[edit] Added "Gradivus" and "Quirinus"

Added two names by which Ares was worshipped. According to the source article, these forms occured in both Greek and Roman mythology.

Although an initial browse with internet search function "Google" reveals more articles related to the Bible (mostly Antichrist at that) than solid evidence of said worship, putting those names in here will (hopefully) inspire in-house research for its validation. 201.29.144.21 03:37, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Precisions

The name of "Mars" would come from the indo-european name of the god of war *Mawor(t)- (X. Delamarre, "Indo-European vocabular", Paris, 1984).

A comparison between the warlike indian Maruts and Mars is the source of this reconstruction. We may add the latvian god, Martins, protector of the country.

Else, Quirinus and Gradivus are only latin epithets, not hellenic.

Best regards. --83.203.180.224 11:46, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mars Had Sex with Rhea?

Mars had sex with Rhea? Rhea had sex with Atlas? What are the references for this? Since when is Zeus the son of Atlas? Romans the "sons of freaks".

I deleted the entry; I did a google search, and the only reference to the whole thing was this article. T@nn 08:25, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reason for disambig

Is there really any reason for the disambig? Either people followed the right links or they didn't, and I can't imagine someone looking for the planet to type "(mythology)" at the end… but maybe I'm missing something. — Lenoxus 07:28, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Refs

Any idea why the one reference is repeated so many times? Corvus cornix 21:47, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Refs

I did that. The Celtic titles that I found for Mars are scattered alphabetically throughout the earlier list that someone else did. T@nn 12:19, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help?

Can anone who has contributed to this page verify if this edit [1] is correct? Thanks Giano 12:00, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
