Throughout recorded history, humanity has honoured gods of war, such as Ares from Greek mythology. He was the son of Zeus and Hera, the king and queen of the Greek gods. Ares was the father of many children, most of who were war-like or were associated with war. In Roman mythology, Mars was the god of war. Before entering into battle, Roman troops offered sacrifices to him, and, when victorious in battle, Romans honoured Mars with a share of their swag. The word martial, meaning war-like or military, originates from the Roman god’s name | Social Audit A Toolkit A Guide for Performance Improvement and Outcome Measurement CENTRE FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE Knowledge Technology People Social Audit A Toolkit No part ofthis book may be reproduced in any form without permission in writing from the publisher except by a reviewer or a research scholar who may quote brief passages in a review in a magazine or a newspaper or for research purposes as the case may be.
