There aren't about the planet itself that I know of, but the planet is named after the Roman God of War, Mars. He is also known as Ares in Greek Mythology. So thus, there are many myths and legends based around him.
One myth about Mars circulating back in the 1950s was that there was a civilization there actively building canals. These canals turned out to be a combination of lens defects and imagination.
