The most prominent trinity of Hinduism Trimurti (which can be seen as three aspects of the same God ) is usually depicted as all male ( Brahma , Shiva and Vishnu ). In most Polytheistic religions, both in history and in the present, male deities had the more prominent role. The Greek and Roman Pantheon was ruled by Zeus or Jupiter, while Wodan had a similar role in the Germanic Religion . When Egyptian Religion developed closer to Monotheism , it was Amun , a male god, who rose to the most prominent place. War gods were, like the rulers of the pantheon, typically male, too; Ares / Mars and Toutatis are obvious examples. Woden was both king of the gods and a god of war. Athena , a goddess also often associated with war and strategy, is a notable exception. SEE ALSO
