Deimos and Phobos, the sons of Ares and Aphrodite, were more than just fear. They were the chilling companions of war, each a distinct aspect of terror. Deimos, the elder, embodied the soul-crushing dread that gripped warriors before the clash – a cold, gnawing fear of loss, a fear inherited from his mother, the goddess of love. Phobos, on the other hand, personified the raw panic that erupted in the heat of battle – the primal urge to flee, the paralyzing terror that sent armies into rout. Together, they rode with their father Ares, driving his chariot and amplifying the chaos of war.
