Phobos and Deimos, the moons of Mars, are named after the characters Phobos (panic/fear) and Deimos (terror/dread) who, in Greek mythology, accompanied their father Ares, God of War, into battle. Ares was known as Mars to the Romans.
The two small moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, are believed to be captured asteroids.
Both moons are tidally locked, therfore always presenting the same face towards Mars. Since Phobos orbits Mars faster than the planet rotates, tidal forces are slowly decreasing its orbital radius. Sometime in the future, when it approaches Mars closely enough (the Roche limit), Phobos will be broken up by these tidal forces and Mars will only have one moon.
Phobos and Deimos are of a size and shape that they are probably captured asteroids from the Asteroid Belt.
