| 1562 | Enyalios ENT_MYC_ENYALIOS | received_as | Ares ENT_ARES | medium | Pylos tablet PY Tn 316 — the most important Mycenaean religious text, listing offering recipients at a crisis moment before the palace's destruction c. 1180 BCE — lists both E-nu-wa-ri-jo (Enyalius) and A-re (Ares) as separate recipients, establishing they were distinct war deities in Mycenaean religion. In the Classical period, Enyalius (Enyalios) persists primarily as an epithet of Ares and as a battle-cry formula; however, some Classical sources still treat Enyalius as distinct (Pindar Olympian 13.102; the separate cult title at some sanctuaries). The transition from independent deity to epithet is the Mycenaean-to-Classical merger: Enyalius's identity and cult were absorbed into the dominant Ares figure in the post-Dark-Age consolidation of the Greek war-deity tradition. | Michael Ventris and John Chadwick, Documents in Mycenaean Greek, 2nd ed.

| 2333 | Vahagn ENT_ARM_VAHAGN | aligned_with | Ares ENT_ARES | medium | In addition to the Heracles equation, Vahagn's war deity function aligns him with Ares as the deity who gives victory in battle.
