When Halirrhothius raped [[Alcippe (daughter of Ares)|Alcippe]], [[Ares]]'s daughter by [[Aglaulus]], Ares killed him. Ares was then tried for this in a court made up of his fellow gods.

Ares was acquitted.<ref name=":1">[[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Apollodorus]], [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Apollod.+3.14.2&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0022:book=3:chapter=14&highlight=Euryte 3.14.2]</ref> According to the [[Parian Chronicle]] this event took place in 1532/1 BC during the reign of [[Cranaus]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ashmolean.museum/ash/faqs/q004/q004008.html|title=Interleaved Greek and English text (translation by Gillian Newing)|last=The Parian Marble|first=Fragment 3|date=March 7, 2001|access-date=January 24, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131225031833/http://www.ashmolean.museum/ash/faqs/q004/q004008.html|archive-date=December 25, 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In another version of the myth, Halirrhothius was sent by his father to cut down the [[olive]] that had grown out of the spear of [[Athena]]. As he raised his axe, it fell out of his hand and mortally wounded him. The olive was called "fatal" (''moros'' in Greek, which was used as folk-etymology for [[Moria (tree)|moria]], the name of the sacred olive trees) from that circumstance.<ref>Scholia on [[Aristophanes]], ''[[The Clouds|Clouds]]'' 1005</ref>{{sfn|Wunder|1855|page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=4grgAAAAMAAJ&pg=RA2-PA100, note on verse 703]}} [[Maurus Servius Honoratus|Servius]] adds that Poseidon was in such great grief of his son's passing, that he accused Ares of murder, and the matter was settled on the Areopagus.<ref>[[Maurus Servius Honoratus|Servius]] ''On Virgil's Georgics'' [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A2007.01.0092%3Abook%3D1%3Acommline%3D18 1.18]</ref>
