Ares is the fever god in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Ares is the ancient Greek God of War. He is the least popular of the gods mentioned in the play. He is nicknamed the fever god because of the way in which participants in armed conflict work themselves up to such an unlikable frenzy for maiming, mayhem and murder.
