- Greek Mythology Deities
Enyalius is a war deity in ancient Greek mythology and religion. He was understood either as an aspect of Ares or as a separate god of combat, and the two were already interchangeable in the Iliad. Later authors who distinguished Enyalius from Ares sometimes described him as Ares' son or foe. In Roman religion, Enyalius was identified with Quirinus, a martial god associated with Mars.
