I didn't even notice this until Pterantropi singled it out.

Though the words may look similar, Aries != Ares - the connection you posit simply doesn't exist.  AFAIK, there isn't even a linguistic connection; they're just two different words that happen to use several of the same letters.

Cutting out Ares and going straight to the planetary Mars, then--but yeah, I'm also rethinking how/why the planetary names got re-adopted to Roman-influenced or science-Latinate general Western occult astrological practices wow that did not sound like word salad.

That excerpt from Manilius is really interesting because each line makes way more sense than the pop astrology correspondents but it's the first I read or heard of it.
