Aries Myth
In Astrolosophy, Aries is ruled by the planet named after the Roman "god of war", Mars. Mars was said to assist Roman soldiers during wars. It was believed that Mars would bring his two sons "Phobos" (fear) and "Deimos" (dread) with him into battle. The two moons of the planet Mars are named after his children as well.
