Ok, értem a problémádat. Az igazság az, hogy az eredeti források is ellentmondóak:
Homérosz:
"[Ares] ordered Phobos (Fear) and Deimos (Terror) to harness his horses, and himself god into his shining armour." - Homer, Iliad 15.110
Itt egyértelműen személyekről van szó.
"Murderous Ares came [to the battlefields of Troy], unmarked of other Gods, down from the heavens, eager to help the warrior sons of Troy. Aithon (Red-fire) and Phlogios (Flame), Konabos (Tumult) and Phobos (Panic-fear), his car-steeds, bare him down into the fight, the coursers which to roaring Boreas grim-eyed Erinnys bare, coursers that breathed life-blasting flame: groaned all the shivering air, as battleward they sped. Swiftly he came to Troy: loud rang the earth beneath the feet of that wild team." - Quintus Smyrnaeus, Fall of Troy 8.239
Itt tehát Phobos tényleg paripa, de Deimos nem szerepel.
"In hot haste he [Ares] leapt up, and awoke Phobos (Rout) and Deimos (Terror) to yoke his deadly quickrunning car. They obeyed their urgent father. Furious Demos set the crooktooth bit in the horses’ mouths, and fastened their obedient necks under the yokestrap, and fitted the neckloop on each: Ares mounted the car, and Phobos took the reins and drove his father’s chariot." - Nonnus, Dionysiaca 29.364
Itt meg Phobos átveszi a gyeplőt is. Gyeplő mindkét végén Phobos
Én ezek alapján azt látom, hogy Phobos egyszerre fiának és egyik paripájának neve, míg Deimos Árész fia csupán, de ilyen nevű paripa nincs.
Vélemény?
