How I met Ares

I was shelving, and on the other side of the row I was on a black guy was sitting at a table reading a stack of materials and every so often saying something out loud to himself. I had to come around the shelf row for the last book and he said (while my back was turned)
"I'm Ares."
I looked at him (you talking to me???)
"Not Aries, but A-R-E-S, and your books on Greek and Roman mythology don't have very much information about me. They refer to me as if it was just a myth, not real history. I was just looking to see what you had."
Says I: "Did you ask the people at the information desk for any help finding what you want?"
"No, there isn't that much in this library."
"Maybe if you try the Central Resource Library they will have more, it's a huge library."
"No, I can't get over there, I'm on foot. "
"If you tell them what you're looking for, they can have things sent here for you from other libraries..."
"I don't have that kind of time, I have things I have to do in Kansas before I get to Transylvania (and some other location I couldn't understand)"
"Well, there are also some books behind the reference desk that might help..."
"See, I just got out of prison after 33 years, and I have a lot to catch up on."
"Well, let them know if you need any more help, and best of luck to you."
"Thanks, I think I'll need it, because I'm not finding much information here."
