Mars' most famous bedfellow was Venus in an ongoing illicit affair with the wife of Vulcan, the gods' armor maker. This negative behavior (often depicted comically) is probably rooted in the connection Mars had with the less than noble Greek war god Ares. The Athenian Greeks looked upon war as destructive and therefore depicted Ares as cruel and even a bit cowardly. Romans, of course saw war as a means to prosperity and peace, so they ennobled Mars and had him married to Nerio a war goddess and the personification of valor. . They did, however, keep the "affair-narrative" since it helped tie in the founder of Rome Aeneas who was always depicted as the son of Venus with the God of War. Mars also fathered Romulus and Remus with the mortal Rhea Silvia. (parts of this were drawn from Wikipedia's entry on Mars)
