Hello, I'm an expert in Greek mythology and pop culture, with a special interest in the evolution of mythological characters in modern media. Let's delve into the relationship between Ares and Wonder Woman.

In Greek mythology, Ares is the god of war, and he is not related to Wonder Woman. However, in the DC Comics universe, which is where Wonder Woman comes from, the relationship is more complex and has evolved over time.
