In Greek mythology, Phobos is described as the son of
Aphrodite and
Ares, and twin brother of
Deimos (terror). Phobos was described as the
personification of fear. In Greek mythology, Phobos is more of a
personification of the fear brought by war and does not appear as a
character in any myth. He was known for accompanying Ares into battle
along with
Enyo,
Eris, and Deimos (terror).
Phobos often is depicted as
having a lion's or lion like head. Warriors and heroes who worshiped
Phobos such as
Hercules and Agamemnon carried shields with depiction of
Phobos on them. Those who worshiped Phobos often made bloody sacrifices
in his name.
INDEX
good information. why does it say terror after Deimos' name
ReplyDeletePhobos was the god of panic fear, flight and battlefield rout, and his twin-brother Deimos of fear, dread and terror. They were sons of the god Ares, who accompanied their father into battle, driving his chariot and spreading fear in their wake. As sons of Aphrodite, goddess of love, the twins also represented the fear of loss.
DeleteDeimos is the god of terror
