      • In Greek mythology, some of the gods had dozens of sons. Their many affairs with goddesses, nymphs, and human women created sprawling family trees. In contrast, Ares had relatively few children. He was the father of the Amazons, but had at most nine or ten sons. This number was exceptionally low in comparison to gods like Zeus or Posiedon.
