In Greek mythology, the god who rules war, anger and aggression is Aries. (The Roman version is Mars.) Aries is mentioned in the Bible in Acts 17:19,22 and 33 — “the Hill of Aries.” Most English translations do not translate this but read “Areopagus.” A few translations render it “Mars Hill.”

I recently read the book by Christian psychologist and caster out of demons, Rita Cabezas, titled “Defeating Demonic Principalities,” self-published by Rita Cabezas, © 1992, San José, Costa Rica. On page 64 is a table of names of the hierarchy of fallen angels and demons, which she has learned during her practice. High in this table is a very powerful demon named Arios, who is in charge of war, violence, aggressiveness.

Is the Greek god Aries this same entity, this powerful demon? Their names are practically identical, as are their areas of responsibility.

There is also a Kindle edition of this book.
