For example Moloch was used by the Phoenicians as a title/name for Kronos, and they supposedly sacrificed children as part of their Kronos worship.

I guess the point I was tryingto make is that Ares would likely be on the evil end of the spectrum, not entirely evil but tending towards evil. And he and his cult would probably be antagonists of the more benevolent deities.
