Enyalius, rather than another name for Ares, in at least one tradition was his son by Enyo.

She is also accredited as the mother of Enyalius, a minor war god, by Ares.

However, the name Enyalius can also be used as a title for Ares himself.

Enyalius or Enyalio ( Greek: Ενυάλιος ) in Greek mythology is generally a byname of Ares the god of war but in Mycenaean times is differentiated as a separate deity.

A scholiast on Homer declares that the poet Alcman sometimes identified Ares with Enyalius and sometimes differentiated him, and that Enyalius was sometimes made the son of Ares by Enyo and sometimes the son of Cronus and Rhea.

:' But Jason called to mind the counsels of Medea full of craft, and seized from the plain a huge round boulder, a terrible quoit of Ares Enyalius ; four stalwart youths could not have raised it from the ground even a little.

The survivors erected a temple to Ares Enyalius by the road where they fell:

:' After the city was saved, they buried the women who had fallen in battle by the Argive road, and as a memorial to the achievements of the women who were spared they dedicated a temple to Ares Enyalius ... Up to the present day they celebrate the Festival of Impudence ( Hybristika ) on the anniversary the battle, putting the women into men's tunics and cloaks and the men in women's dresses and head-coverings.

Polybius ' history renders the Roman god Mars by Greek Ares but the Roman god Quirinus by Enyalius, and the same identifications are made by later writers such as Dionysius of Halicarnassus, perhaps only because it made sense that a Roman god who was sometimes confounded with Mars and sometimes differentiated should be represented in Greek by a name that was similarly sometimes equated with Ares ( who definitely corresponded with Mars ) and was sometimes differentiated.
