Mars
I believe his greek name is Ares, but his roman name is mars. like one of the planets in the solar system.
Marcus is an old Roman word, and is another name for Mars, the Roman god of war. The Norse god of war was Thor.
Mars was the primary Roman god of war; Minerva was also a goddess of war, but is was a secondary aspect for her.

Because that is who Mars was.Answer:The origins of the name Mars are lost in antiquiy.To call the Roman god Mars simply "the god of war" is a simplification of his role rsulting from an unfamiliarity with ROman culure. Mars was a god of "war as a way of creating peacce", but he was also an agricultural deity and had strong ties to the creation of Rome as he was the father of Romulus and Remus.The planet Mars is named such as it is red like blood, and blood is related to wars and bloodshed.
