How did the ancients explain the appearance of Mars?

The ancient name of Mars is the soul of heroes, and the name itself means rude behavior. When there is a war, it stops when it disappears. Use the division of the places you are confused to predict the good or bad of the country. Comets herald disasters such as chaos, murder, disease, death, hunger and war. If the comet retrogrades more than twice, it will stop, and the country where it stops will have disasters in March, foreign troops will invade in May, half of the land will be lost in July, and most of it will be lost in September. If you stay after September, this country will perish. Where you can't stay, disasters don't follow, which seems to be big, but it is actually small; If you come slowly, the disaster seems small but great. Lingering in the south of the haunted house indicates the death of a man; In the north of the ghost, the woman died. If the comet has horns, wobbles, spins in situ, jerks back and forth, jerks left and right, the disaster will be even greater. If the brightness is similar to other stars, it is harmful; The brightness of the stars is too different to be harmful.
