Direct answer

Ares and Mars — Reception and comparison is implemented as a source-bounded reception and comparison guide.

Answer contract

Evidence and exact locators

William Smith, A Smaller Classical Dictionary of Biography, Mythology, and Geography (London, 1873) — s.v. “Ares, called Mars,” pp. 48–49; scan PDF pages 58–59. Supports: Contrasts the dictionary’s Greek Ares and Roman Mars framing and records attributed relationships and iconography.

What the evidence does not establish

This is a nineteenth-century reference synthesis, not a primary ancient text, modern classical consensus, proof of equivalence, common origin, or living theological authority. Every route must attribute the frame to Smith and preserve Greek evidence, Roman reception, and later comparison as different propositions.
