The Scythian "Arēs," that is the Scythian war god equated by {{transliteration|grc|Hērodotos|italics=no}} of {{transliteration|grc|Halikarnāssos|italics=no}} with the Greek god [[Ares|{{transliteration|grc|Arēs|italics=no}}]], corresponded to the Iranian deity [[Verethragna|{{transliteration|ae|Vərᵊϑraγna|italics=no}}]], and might possibly have been an offspring of {{transliteration|xsc|Tapatī́|italics=no}}.{{sfn|Safaee|2020}} The Scythian and Sarmatian "{{transliteration|grc|Arēs|italics=no}}" was represented by an [[acinaces|{{transliteration|grc|akīnakēs}}]] sword planted upwards at the top of a tall square altar made of brushwood of which three sides were vertical and the fourth was inclined to allow access to it. The Scythian "{{transliteration|grc|Arēs|italics=no}}" was given blood sacrifices and his representation in the form of a sword are evidence of his military function.{{sfn|Raevskiy|1993|page=[https://archive.org/details/ScythianMythology/page/n19/mode/2up 20]}} The Scythian "{{transliteration|grc|Arēs|italics=no}}" was also a god of kingship, and the use of horses and of the blood and right arms of prisoners in his cult was a symbolic devotion of the swiftness of horses and the strength of men to this god who had similar powers.{{sfn|Campbell|1969|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=Z-l5DwAAQBAJ&pg=PA204#v=onepage&q&f=false 204]}}
