The #NewYear is barely a week old and shows already that Ares will be busy. Let's not forget he is also the god of riots and rebellion:

"Ares . . . ally of Themis, stern governor of the rebellious."

Ares steers his chariot towards a #NewYear 🍾

"The Amazones of the Doiantian plain were by no means gentle, well-conducted folk; they were brutal and aggressive, and their main concern in life was war. War, indeed, was in their blood, daughters of Ares as they were."

The Amazons are #Ares' daughters

"The Gargarians [...] have intercourse with them for the sake of begetting children, doing this in secrecy and darkness, any Gargarian at random with any Amazon; and after making them pregnant they send them away; and the females that are born are retained by the #Amazons themselves, but the males are taken to the Gargarians to be brought up."
Strabo, Geography, 11.5.1

For #BlackHistoryMonth, I'm introducing African deities in my daily god toots. #BosouKoblamin is a violent #Loa in #HaitianVodou, capable of defeating his enemies. He is very popular during times of war. He protects his followers when they travel at night. #Bosou's appearance is that of a man with three horns representing strength, wildness, and violence. When a service is held, he is offered a pig, his favorite food.
