 He notes that the "ear" rune is simply a Tyr rune with two barbs attached to it and suggests that "Tir" and "Ear", Old High German "Zio" and "Eor", were two names of the same god.He finds the name in the toponym of Eresburg ("*Eresberc") in Westphalia, in Latin "Mons martis".Grimm thus suggests that the Germans had adopted the name of Greek Ares as an epithet of their god of war, and "Eresberc" was literally an Areopagus.
