In a random poll taken at my office, a good two-thirds of the people who remembered the film mostly remembered it for being scary. But why? It left me with an overall impression of morbid unease, like there was something rotten in the movie trying to get out and infect me. And I remembered very old rats, wearing robes, and something was very wrong with them. My childish brain instinctively cringed away from the movie on a visceral level, even though I also clearly remember being fascinated by it. No, the thing that got to me—and what came immediately rushing back as soon as I began watching—was the realization that I was freaked out by the eyes.
ARES was the Olympian god of war, battlelust, courage and civil order. In ancient Greek art he was depicted as either a mature, bearded warrior armed for battle, or a nude, beardless youth with a helm and spear. Ares had an adulterous affair with the goddess Aphrodite but her husband Hephaistos trapped the pair in a golden net and humiliated them by calling the rest of the gods to witness. When Aphrodite fell in love with the handsome youth Adonis, the god grew jealous, transformed himself into a boar, and gorged the boy to death as he was out hunting. Ares transformed his daughter Harmonia and her husband Kadmos Cadmus of Thebes into serpents and had them carried away to the Islands of the Blessed.
