Question

Did Ares (god of war) carry a spear or a sword as his main weapon?

Answer 1

I have seen him protrayed with both...i mean not at the same time, but I have seen him with spear before and a sword another time

Answer 2

In the Greek Mythology, he usually brandished a pear in a battle.

While in the God of War game, he uses the sword when he was fighting kratos in the last fight.

Answer 3

i think it depended on what time the painting was painted, at one time the sword was more popular so they gave him a sword, while at other times the spear was more popular so they gave him a spear

Answer 4

sword

Answer 5

Ares did use a sword at times but he always carried a spear and a shield according to the ancient stories found in Greek mythology.  This is why I believe his main weapon was a spear.
