Mars, ancient Roman deity, in importance second only to Jupiter. Little is known of his original character, and that character (chiefly from the cult at Rome) is variously interpreted. It is clear that by historical times he had developed into a god of war; in Roman literature he was protector of Rome, a nation proud in war.

Mars's festivals at Rome occurred in the spring and the fall-the beginning and the end of both the agricultural and the military seasons. The month of March, which was named after him, was especially filled with festivals wholly or partially in his honour; the members of the ancient priesthood of the Salii, who were particularly associated with Jupiter, Mars, and Quirinus, came out several times during the month to dance their ceremonial war dance in old-fashioned armour and chant a hymn to the gods. October was also an important month for Mars. At the festival of the October Horse on October 15, a two-horse chariot race was held in the Campus Martius, and on October 19 the Armilustrium marked the purification of the arms of war and their storage for the winter. The god was invoked in the ancient hymn of the Arval Brothers, whose religious duties had as their object to keep off enemies of all kinds from crops and herds.

Until the time of Augustus, Mars had only two temples at Rome: one was in the Campus Martius, the exercising ground of the army; the other was outside the Porta Capena. Within the city there was a sacrarium ("shrine," or "sanctuary") of Mars in the regia, originally the king's house, in which the sacred spears of Mars were kept; upon the outbreak of war the consul had to shake the spears saying, " Mars vigila " ("Mars, wake up!").

Under Augustus the worship of Mars at Rome gained a new impetus; not only was he traditional guardian of the military affairs of the Roman state but, as Mars Ultor ("Mars the Avenger"), he became the personal guardian of the emperor in his role as avenger of Caesar. His worship at times rivaled that of Capitoline Jupiter, and about ad 250 Mars became the most prominent of the di militares ("military gods") worshiped by the Roman legions. In literature and art he is hardly distinguished from the Greek Ares.

There are several Roman myths about Mars. In one, Hera bore him, without Zeus, at the touch of a magic herb given her by Flora. In another, he was the father of Romulus and Remus by Rhea Silvia, a Vestal Virgin. Ovid, in Fasti, tells of Mars's attempt to seduce Minerva. In the only purely Roman myth, he is tricked into marrying the aged Anna Perenna.

The English word colossal is from the Latin colossus, a word that is in turn borrowed from Greek kolossos. The Greek word meant a gigantic statue, originally the Colossus of Rhodes. The English word now refers to anything that is huge in size.

The Colossus of Rhodes was a gigantic statue of the Greek god Helios, one of the Titans. It was erected in the year 280 B.C.E. and was regarded as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. You can read more about the Colossus of Rhodes at Wikipedia.

The caption to the illustration below reads "The Colossus of Rhodes, a prodigious brass statue dedicated to the Sun, which, holding fire in its right hand, served for a sea light to ships; for lighting the fire there was a staircase (that) went through one of his legs, through the inside of the body and arm."
