Alala is Polemos's daughter and the Greek Personification of the War Cry. The Greek soldiers used her name in combat as they attacked their adversaries, generating terror in their lines. It was largely claimed by the Athenians, who used it to imitate the screech of an owl, their Goddess Athena's bird. Alala is one of Ares's attendants on the battlefield, alongside Deimos, Phobos, Eris, Makhai, Androktasiai, Hysminai, Spartoi, Phonoi, and the Keres.
