A prayer to Ares for blessing and protection

Ares Polemistes Talaurinus, I pray for you to take me under your brazen shield;
gird me in a belt of courage as you did your daughter Hippolyte.
Ares Oxys, put in my hand a bronze spear so I may spill the blood of men
Ares Obrimus allow me to put my small feet in the vast hollows of your footsteps,
Laossous rally my heart with the sound of your mighty spear beating against your shield
Gynaecothoenas allow me, maiden, to stand strong, a child amazon desirous of your favor and strength
Grant me the mindfulness to destroy those who seek to take from me-
watch over me in your fury as you did Alkippe.
Guide the strength of my hand and weight of my blow so they may strike to the very quick of my enemy
Miaephonus stain me with the blood of men, my open mouth accepts it as honey and bread; feed me.
Open me to my own violence, so I may inflict war upon the predatory hand and eyes
Let me fly as a hawk and strike as a poisonous serpent so men may know that I serve the god of blood and war.
