Under the influence of Greek culture, Mars was identified with the Greek god Ares,

The English name is derived from Middle English Tewesday, from Old English Tiwesdæg meaning "Tīw's Day",
the day of Tiw or Týr, the god of single combat, law, and justice in Norse mythology. Tiw was equated with Mars

The Latin name dies Martis ("day of Mars") is equivalent to the Greek ἡμέρα Ἄρεως (hēméra Áreōs, "day of Ares").
