The Romans liked Mars better than the Greeks liked Ares. [...] He had no cities where he was worshiped. [...] Appropriately, his bird was the vulture. The dog was wronged by being chosen as his animal.
Edith Hamilton (34-35)
Amazons: p.p. 128
siding with Aphrodite: 191
The Goddess of Love and Beauty, who beguiled all, gods and men alike [...] The myrtle was her tree; the dove her bird—sometimes, too, the sparrow and the swan.

Aphrodite: 32-33
Adonis: 94-95
The God of Fire, [...] Among the perfectly beautiful immortals he only was ugly. He was lame as well. [...] In his workshop he has handmaidens he has forged out of gold who can move and who help him in his work.
Hephaestus: p. 35
