Ares, always hot tempered and eager to fight, was worshiped by militaristic cults and city states, while on the other hand, Athena was revered as a goddess of protection and strategy. Between the violent temper of Ares and the intelligent cunning of Athena, worshipers of these Gods would think low of their rival. While followers of the cult of Ares viewed Athenians as weak, cowardly children, Athenians would think of Ares' followers as ignorant, hotheaded lowlifes.
Not soon after Athena's awkward birth, (emerging from the skull of Zeus), Ares found his new sister a nuisance, a challenge to his place on Olympus as the God of war, and murder. The intelligent strategy which Athena gave to Greeks threatened Ares' success in warfare, and his uncivilized manners would result in proper Greek society disowning him over time.
We walk into Saturday about to witness our own equivalent of the battle for Olympus between two Boxing gods, but who will prevail?
