   • 2018 September 22, Carruthers, Marissa, “Five of the best places to go off grid in Asia, get back to nature and away from office phone calls”, in South China Morning Post‎, archived from the original on 23 September 2018, Travel & Leisure:

   Synonym: Ares

   Mars was the lover of Venus, and together they had a daughter called Harmonia.

3. (poetic) War; a personification of war.

   In the first half of the twentieth century, Mars devastated Europe.

   • 1918, Ruth Stanley Farnam, A Nation at Bay: What an American Woman Saw and Did in Suffering Serbia, page 57:

     Mars rode upon the storm of horror and drank his fill of pain and blood. When the Serbian Army retreated before the foe, four times its own strength, it went backward facing the enemy and fighting every step of the way.

   • 1944, McGraw-Hill, Engineering and Mining Journal, volume 145, page 54:

     A relieved world then will eagerly turn to the task of reclaiming the destruction wrought by Mars ... A tremendous task, filled with infinite possibilities ... A profitable task, according to how well you are prepared to do your part in the rehabilitation ...

   • 1975, Helen Diane Russell, Jeffrey Blanchard, Jacques Callot: Prints & Related Drawings, Issue 21, page 10:

Latin

Etymology

From Old Latin Māvors, from Proto-Italic *Māwortis. Mamers was his Oscan name. He was also known as Marmor, Marmar and Maris, the latter from the Etruscan deity Maris.

Pronunciation

• (Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /mars/, [märs]

Proper noun

Mārs m sg (genitive Mārtis); third declension

1. Mars (planet)
2. Mars (Roman god)

Usage notes

The name of the god could, through interpretatio romana, serve to replace the name of a war god in a foreign language. Thus Saxo Grammaticus, for example, uses the term to refer to the Norse god Odin, alternating it with the borrowed form Ōthinus.
