Ares' Obscure Domain & Demeter

Everyone knows Ares as this... brute, violent and angry god who only knows how to get into fights for any reason, his mythos going from a literal war and his child being assassined to a childish love triangle. Just the lord of war, the god of the brute, bloodthirsty kind. But... what if I told you he has one obscure domain which is all the opposite of his usual one? One where, instead of taking lives... he gives them?
There are many things that imply this in mythology and in cults. His hymns put him in a better light. He was respected, of course. Ally of Themis, father of Niké... Justice and victory. But he's somewhat also related to fertility in some way.

And I'll start with his very childhood, since his tutor was Priapos, a god of fertility, and he taught him how to dance before he ever handed him a weapon. Yes, this might be from a writer of 1AD, but it's still relevant, isn't it? This isn't just something Lucian (the writer) wrote, it came from a Bythinian tradition. Lets remember that all myths have a meaning in one way or another, and it could imply Ares' relation to fertility. After all, why would it be Priapos specifically? Why not the titan Pallas, who IS a god of warfare? You see where I'm going, right?

Timeskip, Ares was also a suitor of Persephone, a goddess of both fertility and death (well, the dead, the Underworld, but ygwim), which wouldn't mean a lot, BUT it takes us to the next point: Demeter. They had a son.

"WHAT?! WHEN?!" you might be asking.  Their son is the Ismenean dragon, the one Cadmos kills. The mother is named Erinys Tilphousa, which is an epithet of Demeter and not really an actual erinyis, since the erinyes are three: Alecto, Megera and Tisiphone.

This dragon is also related to both war and the earth, as it would be expected considering its' bloodline, because when his teeth are sown on the GROUND, and what is born from them are nothing else than WARRIORS. You see the ties.

I believe this union could've happened while Persephone was in the Underworld, whether it was the first time Demeter lost her or when some time had passed since the first winter. But the first one is more probable. Ares next to her, representing her internal war. Could it be? (This does not matter in this case, but I wanted to add it, because it is so wholesome, bro...).

Should I also add the fact that his sacred animals are snakes? Because, really, in this mythology, anything with to snakes tends to be some Cthonic being, like Kerberos for example. And many death-related (and therefore ground and Underworld-related too) gods have them as their sacred animals, or are associated to them: Asclepius, Dionysus, Hermes, Apollon...

Next point is a very popular myth among Ares stans: the myth of Aerope and their son Aleos, in which Ares gained the epithet Aphneios (abundant one, giver of plenty).

"On the right of the road [from Tegea, Arkadia through the Manthouric Plain] is a small mountain called Mount Kresios, on which stands the sanctuary of Aphneios. For Ares, the Tegeans say, mated with Aerope, daughter of Kepheus, the son of Aleus. She died in giving birth to a child, who clung to his mother even when she was dead, and sucked great abundance of milk from her breasts. Now this took place by the will of Ares, and because of it they name the god Aphneios (Abundant ); but the name given to the hill was, it is said, Aeropos."

As you can read, this myth is from Tegea in Arcadia, which has very arcaic (antique) cults & traditions. This could come from a very old oral tradition. And it's about Ares feeding a son through the dead mother, granting her body the ability to nurse the child for him to survive. A myth of him blooming life, from sterile ground, just like Demeter is able to do and does.

Speaking of abundance... at the end of his Orphic hymn, this is said:

Halt the raging strife! Cease the travail grieving our hearts!

Rather, yield to the peaceful yearnings of Aphrodíti and the revels of Diónysos.

Exchange your fury and weapons for the gentle works of Dimítir.

Conceive a desire for peacefulness which will cultivate the young and grant them blessedness.

First of all, notice how they mention Demeter again, asking him to calm down and let the peaceful activities, which are the agricultural ones, take place, as you see. He can grant this. He can let the fight end at some point to make the plants grow.

And when...? When winter starts. The cold seasons are both when Persephone goes down to the Underworld, causing Demeter's grief, and also a rather undesireable weather to fight. People (at least Romans, from what I've read) avoided any major war campaigns during those times. It was freezing. You could say that Ares loosened and yielded his battles upon Demeter's grief.

So, what's your opinion in this rather... unexpected pairing of gods that at first might seem strangers to each other? This was simply my take.
