Athena is canon: http://historylink101.com/2/greece2/ares_vs_athena.htm (poor quality source)
>>
>>386014
During the Trojan war, Ares took the side of the Trojans, while Athena took the side of the Greeks.

Ares faced off with Diomedes, the king from Anatolia. Athena borrowed the helm of invisibility from Hades and caused Ares’ spear to go off course. This opened up Ares to a counterattack from Diomedes which deeply wounded Ares. Ares had to leave the battlefield and return to mount Olympus where his wounds were tended by Zeus.

If it came to violence then Ares, but Athena would resolve the dispute another way.

Besides that one time with Diomedes Athena also beat Ares one on one by knocking him out with a rock during the Trojan War.

Athenawinslol.

Seriously, read this and you will see that Ares is officially the God of jobbers:

http://www.theoi.com/Olympios/AresMyths2.html

Its sources are:
Homer, The Iliad - Greek Epic C9th-8th BC
Quintus Smyrnaeus, Fall of Troy - Greek Epic C4th AD
Colluthus, The Rape of Helen - Greek Epic C5th-6th AD

Athena is wiser and the better strategist.

Coinceivably, Ares's biggest chance would be waging a war of attrition, when he can make full use of man's worst passions to recruit more troops, turning people into fanatical killing machines.
>>
>>386014
It should be obvious that Athena wins. Ares was the comic relief of the Greek pantheon.
>>
>>386014
Mars would win.

Athena's got those fat pussy lips
>>
>>386281
Athena also has a dick and balls.
>>
>>386014
Athena has a lot of tricks up her sleeve and would always fight dirty using anything she can. Ares is better at a straight up brawl
>>
As hated as Ares is he goes home and fucks the Goddess of love (and keks a cripple).
>>
>>386014
Athena because she at least is smart.

Wisdom and warfare would trump raw aggression and fighting ability every time.

Athena because the Greeks actually cared about her.
You can count the number of Ares statues on your hand.

Athena was the goddess of war and wisdom you puffed up ignorant.

To be fair, Diomedes had also been given temporary superpowers at the time on top of Athena having his back.

The first person you quoted is >implying that that is not Athena.

The second person is stating that the pictured sculpture is of Hermaphroditus.

So they're both right and we learn filenames can be misleading.
>>
Okay who wins
Mars or Minerva?

>>
>>390168
This is a slightly better, more nuanced question (Mars does btw).

Best question:
>Athena or Mars?

If you go by feats alone, I'd say Athena. By battle prowess, probably Mars.
>>
>>386014

hmm, technological advantages are responsible for conquerors having a temporary military advantage, but it is always temporary

>During the Trojan war, Ares took the side of the Trojans, while Athena took the side of the Greeks
Yes, but then the Trojans came back and wrecked the Greek's shit so hard they thought they were Roman for 1000 years.
