A friend of mine is currently working on a school project involving Greek myths. He is supposed to choose a Greek god and a corresponding myth and do a presentation and skit. He has chosen Ares, and needs recommendations for a (school appropriate) myth to use. Any ideas?

Well, to be honest, Ares didn't do that much. Your friend could do a skit where he challenges Athena to a battle and she wins with her bow and arrow.

Or he could do a skit where Ares runs away from battle and his mother has to get him. (Yes, that happened. Ares was a coward most of the time, unlike his character in Xena.)

Truth be told, although he was the god of war, he was a coward. And like niahflame suggested, the only thing that comes to mind is that about with Athena.
