In Roman mythology, who is the equivalent to the Greek God of War, Ares?
In Roman Mythology, the God of War is Mars (like Ares in Greek Mythology). Mars was the second important God and the main protector of the Roman soldiery.
Ancient Romans believed in Mars as in the God of War.He was the second important God after Jupiter and protected the Roman soldiery. Even being compared with the Greek God, Mars differed a lot from Ares, who was considered to be the destructive and evil force. In his turn, Mars protected the Roman soldiers from death and helped them in maintaining peace.

Kathy Harris You don't have to be a know it all a**hole. Maybe HE spelled it incorrectly, but he was closer than you. Orthopaedic surgery and orthopaedics is the branch of surgery concerned with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system. And he isn't English first language. Do you speak any language besides red neck?

I got it right, but only because Mercury wasn't one of the options. Who was Mercury?

Kathy Harris - How unintelligent of you, and shameful. I'd say an apology is in order. I took it upon myself to help you out here:
According to grammarist.com, orthopedic is the Americanized version of the word orthopaedic. Both refer to the medical specialty focusing on the body’s musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves.a
Orthopaedic comes from the Greek orthos (straight) and paidion (child), which suggests the practice began with a focus on children.
The spellings are virtually interchangeable in the United States. However, an institution (such as Orthopeadic Surgery Associates) may use the more original form of spelling to associate itself with the classic meaning and principles of the discipline. Our practice Orthopeadic Surgery Associates follows the example of other prestigious institutions – for example The American Association of Orthopaedic Surgery also uses the classic spelling.

It seems natural that the Greeks named the fourth planet after Ares, since it shines with a red color, resembling blood, which is appropriate for the god of War
