Ares and Aphrodite's affair
Ares had an affair with Goddess of Love, Aphrodite, whilst Aphrodite was married to Hephaestus. Hephaestus concocted a plan to catch the two in the act, and crafted an invisible net to ensnare them whilst they were laying together in bed. Not satisfied with this humiliation, Hephaestus then invited all of the Olympian Gods to witness Ares and Aphrodite trapped together.
Ares and the City of Thebes
Ares was an integral character in the origin tale of Thebes in Mainland Greece. Ares was the ancestor of the dragon killed by Cadmus. The dragon-teeth were sown into the ground and a fully-cladded army of Spartoi sprang from the ground. Cadmus was indebted into the service of Ares for 8 years due to his slaying the dragon, and went on to found the City of Thebes.
The Areopagus
Ares got in trouble with mighty Poseidon, for slaying the son of Poseidon as revenge for Poseidon's son raping Ares' daughter. Poseidon summoned Ares to appear before a tribunal of the Olympians, and was acquitted with no charges. This took place upon a hill in Athens and the name given to this hill is the Areopagus, or Hill of Ares.
