found: Myths encyclopedia website, March 21, 2017(Mars was a major Roman deity, second only to Jupiter in the Roman pantheon. He began as a protector of agriculture but later became the god of war, honored throughout the realm of the conquering Romans. The Romans admired Greek culture and absorbed Greek deities into their own. They came to identify their own war god, Mars, with the Greek war god, Ares, but Mars was a more dignified and popular figure; Mars's high place of honor in the Roman pantheon comes in part from his role as an ancestor of Rome. According to the story of the founding of Rome, Mars was the father of Romulus and Remus, twin boys born to a human priestess and raised by a wolf. Romulus later founded the city of Rome, and the Romans believed that Romulus's divine father would come to their aid in times of crisis or disaster) - http://www.mythencyclopedia.com/Le-Me/Mars.html found: Encyclopedia mythica website, March 21, 2017(Mars; The god of war, and one of the most prominent and worshipped gods.
