Nah, Zeus or Hercules was the gigachad. Ares was relatively small potatoes.In greek mythology Hephaestus got cucked regularly by gigachad god of war Ares.

Brings up an interesting point that adventuring/combat is orthagonal at best to romance/sexuality. A man's mind turns to reproduction when his best adventuring days are behind him and he's ready to pass the torch on to the next generation. The sex act (and especially the aftermath) feels like a sort of death, in some sense it's what death is for. Saturnine (Saturn famously ate his own children to avoid the mortality they represent) phags never fully grow up out of fear of that looming death that accompanies acts that are truly sexual. Adventure gaming (and adventuring itself) has traditionally functioned as a respite from that cycle, which is why romances in games (ghey or otherwise) feel like such an imposition. Rosie Cotton/Peneolpe was waiting at home, but only once the adventure was successfully completed.
