Ares rides to war attended by his fearsome retinue — his sons Phobos and Deimos spread panic and dread through enemy ranks, Enyo howls the war cry as cities fall, and Eris his sister drives men to murderous fury on the killing field.
Enyo, Phobos, and Deimos formed part of Ares's fearsome battle retinue. Homer describes them together on the battlefield at Troy, spreading terror and destruction among the combatants.
The Greeks worshipped Enyo as goddess of destructive warfare and the sacking of cities. The Romans identified her with Bellona, whose frenzied priests slashed their own arms in ecstatic prophecy.
