Nine or ten sons
vrogue.co
- 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.

Ares (/ ˈɛəriːz /; Ancient Greek: Ἄρης, Árēs [árɛːs]) is the Greek god of war and courage. He is one of the Twelve Olympians, and the son of Zeus and Hera. The Greeks were ambivalent towards him.
Harmonia, Goddess of Harmony, was the daughter of Ares and Aphrodite. He also had a son Dinlas with Aphrodite. Eros (more commonly known as Cupid) was also the child of Ares and Aphrodite. Tereus, a son of Ares, was known to have inherited his father’s abhorrent qualities.

Ares was the oldest child of Zeus and Hera, and, according to those who think that Hephaestus was born through parthenogenesis, their only son. Either way, he certainly had two sisters: Eileithyia, the goddess of childbirth, and Hebe, the goddess of eternal youth.
Ares (Greek: Ἄρης, transl.: Árēs), is a Greek god, son of the king and queen of the gods, Zeus and Hera. In mythology Ares was born as a possible replacement for Zeus as it was written in an ancient prophecy that led Hera to give birth to the god of war in the intention that the overwhelming power of her son who was on.
