Ares posed a challenge to each of his sons to bring him the most glorious prize in battle. The first of his sons to return was Eros who gave him a new bow to use in battle and for this he was pleased. His second son, the son who idolized him most, Enyalios brought him Perseus's shield which he viewed with disdain. The final two that returned were Deimos and Phobos each bearing grand prizes for their father, the first of the two, Phobos brought Ares the head of a chimera and Deimos brought his father the heart of a hydra. "Now all of you have done well," Ares began, "some more than others," He finished glancing from Deimos and Phobos to Enyalios. With that comment Ares turned away from his sons and started to walk back to his crimson throne causing rage to fill Enyalios, "Are you not pleased father?" Enyalious roared charging his father and while pulling a dagger from his waist. Before Enyalios could strike his father down he found himself pinned to the floor under his father's foot. "From this day forth you are no longer welcome here and you are no longer my son!" Ares roared throwing Enyalios off Mount Olympus.

Upon discovering that Ares cast her beloved son off Olympus Eris decided to aid Enyalios. Eris came to Enyalios in cave where he had set up camp and told him when the sun rose a meteor would come and crash into the mountain creating a colosseum where he could train his army to over throw his father and Eris promised to bring armor forged by Hephestus upon her next visit.

Three Days had passed since Eris's visit and Enyalios grew impatient with his mother. Finally she had returned to him bearing Armor forged by Hephestus. "Hermes will be here with your weapon in a few days," Eris smiled kissing her precious boy on his forehead before she faded away into nothing. Finally Hermes arrived with the sword of Mars and the very shield Enyalios had given to his father.
