Ares (; Ancient Greek: Ἄρης, Árēs [árɛːs]) is the Greek god of courage and war. He is one of the Twelve Olympians, and the son of Zeus and Hera. The Greeks were ambivalent toward him. He embodies the physical valor necessary for success in war but can also personify sheer brutality and bloodlust, in contrast to his sister, the armored Athena, whose martial functions include military strategy and generalship. An association with Ares endows places, objects, and other deities with a savage, dangerous, or militarized quality.
Although Ares' name shows his origins as Mycenaean, his reputation for savagery was thought by some to reflect his likely origins as a Thracian deity. Some cities in Greece and several in Asia Minor held annual festivals to bind and detain him as their protector. In parts of Asia Minor, he was an oracular deity. Still further away from Greece, the Scythians were said to ritually kill one in a hundred prisoners of war as an offering to their equivalent of Ares. The later belief that ancient Spartans had offered human sacrifice to Ares may owe more to mythical prehistory, misunderstandings, and reputation than to reality.
Though there are many literary allusions to Ares' love affairs and children, he has a limited role in Greek mythology. When he does appear, he is often humiliated. In the Trojan War, Aphrodite, protector of Troy, persuades Ares to take the Trojan's side. The Trojans lose, while Ares' sister Athena helps the Greeks to victory. Most famously, when the craftsman-god Hephaestus discovers his wife Aphrodite is having an affair with Ares, he traps the lovers in a net and exposes them to the ridicule of the other gods.
Ares' nearest counterpart in Roman religion is Mars, who was given a more important and dignified place in ancient Roman religion as ancestral protector of the Roman people and state. During the Hellenization of Latin literature, the myths of Ares were reinterpreted by Roman writers under the name of Mars, and in later Western art and literature, the mythology of the two figures became virtually indistinguishable.
As close to new as you can get. Bought it awhile ago, wore a handful of times to realize it was too stiff. Great belt I just went another direction. These retail for close to $150. Asking $50 cash. Size medium. Black in color. Metal buckle.

Only selling because I got the same belt in black. I’m a size 32 waist.
This belt has been worn for over 10 years. I just bought a new one cause my waist size has shrunk quite a bit and this belt now has too long of a tail for my preference.
It shows wear and some fraying where the metal clips of my holster/knife have rubbed. Still as still as when I bought it...
Ares Aegis Enhanced carry belt. Metal buckle. OD green in color. Size medium. I have this same belt and have been wearing it for 10+ years (the original belt). In the pictures you can see some cross stitching, that was done because in a few spots the belt began to separate.
These belts retail...
