Abstract
The naming Ares, which is the god of war in Greek Mythology and seems to be of the Scythian, occurs in the work of Homeros before the Scythians arrived in the Eastern Europea. This fact confirms that the mentioned word belongs to the language of an indigeneous Scythian community. In this paper, the present-day remnants and equivalents of the Scythian word in Turkic and Slavic languages will be shown.
