Ares

What I find fascinating in Greek art is the way warriors are depicted. They are not only strong and ruthless brutes, but thoughtful, sometimes melancholic and sensitive people. I am thinking for example of a beautiful sculpture of Ares, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ares_Ludovisi_Altemps_Inv8602_n2.jpg
I haven't depicted this sculpture here (it would be difficult in such a small space) but a figure from the frieze you see above, I think supports the idea well.
