Phobos (mythology)
Phobos (Ancient Greek: Φόβος, pronounced [pʰóbos], meaning "fear") is the personification of fear in Greek mythology. He is the offspring of Aphrodite and Ares. He was known for accompanying Ares into battle along with the ancient war goddess Enyo, the goddess of discord Eris (both sisters of Ares), and Phobos' twin brother Deimos (terror).
In Classical Greek mythology, Phobos is more of a personification of the fear brought by war and does not appear as a character in any myths. Timor or Timorus is his Roman equivalent. In Roman mythology, he has also been referred to as Pavor.
Phobos is associated with Greek deity Pan.
Genealogy
Phobos is the son of Aphrodite and Ares. This may be seen in Hesiod’s Theogony, "Also Kytherea Aphrodite bare to Ares the shield piercer Phobos…" (Atsma). Ares was accompanied in battle by his sister Eris, Phobos, and Deimos. Phobos’s genealogy is shown:
Worship
Those who worshipped Phobos often made bloody sacrifices in his name. In Seven Against Thebes by Aeschylus, the seven warriors slaughter a bull over a black shield and then "touching the bull’s gore with their hands they swore an oath by… Phobos who delights in blood…"(Atsma). Ares’s son, Kyknos, "beheaded strangers who came along in order to build a temple to Phobos (fear) from the skulls." (Atsma).

Phobos
by: Happy RhodesWho is by my immortal side?
Who's the cloak when I need to hide?
Who confirms my reality?
Harbors my individuality?
I carry hopes and dreams from the
Stars above to guide me
I have a friend in Phobos
At times I think I'm almost there
When I look back on all the years
I was warm in my coat of drears
Never once lacking company
Through the clouds
I could feel a symphony
I had the notes and themes of
The stars above to guide me
I have a friend in Phobos
At times I think I'm almost there
It's you and me
My moon
It's you and me
There's a place representative
Of the land where my creatures live
It embodies my will to be
This has nothing to do with destiny
I carry skill and schemes from
The stars above to guide me
I have a friend in Phobos
At times I think I'm almost there
It's you and me
My moon
It's you and me
It's you and me
My moon
It's you and me
My moon
My friend
My moon
Who is king over my domain?
What's the force that has kept me sane?
Making certain I'm not alone
Making certain my heart will not be prone
I had the hopes and dreams of the
Stars above to guide me
I have a friend in Phobos
At times I think I'm almost there
I have a friend in Phobos
At times I think I'm almost...
