Deimus

DEIMOS and PHOBOS were the gods or personified spirits (daimones) of fear. Deimos represented terror and dread, while his brother Phobos was panic, flight and rout. They were sons of the war-god Ares who accompanied their father into battle, driving his chariot and spreading fear in his wake. As sons of Aphrodite, goddess of love, the twins also represented fear of loss.

In classical art the two were usually depicted as unremarkable youths, though sometimes Phobos was given the head of a lion or leonine features (e.g. the image to the right).
